A Los Alamos collaboration has replicated an important but largely forgotten physics experiment: the first deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion observation. As described in the article published in Physical Review C, the reworking of the previously unheralded experiment confirmed the role of University of Michigan physicist Arthur Ruhlig, whose 1938 experiment and observation of deuterium-tritium fusion likely planted the seed for a physics process that informs national security work and nuclear energy research to this day.

Drip, drip. Trickle, trickle.That's the sound of water seeping from a sunbaked and slushy Swiss glacier that geoscientists are monitoring for signs of continued retreat by the majestic masses of ice under the heat of global warming. In recent years, glaciologists like Matthias Huss of the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, known as ETHZ, and others have turned to dramatic measures to help protect glaciers like the Rhone Glacier, which feeds into the river of the same name that runs through Switzerland and France.One of those desperate steps involves using giant sheets to cover the ice like blankets to slow the melt.Switzerland is continental Europe’s glacier capital, with some 1,400 that provide drinking water, irrigation for farmland in many parts of Europe including French wine country, and hydropower that generates most of the country’s electricity.The number has been dwindling. The Alpine country has already lost up to 1,000 small glaciers, and the bigger ones...

Fragile ceasefire appears to hold between Iran and Israel as Trump vents frustration with both sides
Big Decisions Remain As Supreme Court's Term Approaches End Authored by Sam Dorman via The Epoch Times,The Supreme Court has already released major decisions for the 2024–2025 term, but some of its most consequential could still be in the making.So far, the justices have ruled on religious liberty, gender-related issues, environmental policy, and a case with a large impact on the vaping industry. Yet, more opinions are coming—ones that, among other things, could help determine parents’ rights, funding for abortion organizations, and whether and how much lower court judges can block presidents’ agendas.Here is a breakdown of what to expect as the term comes to an end:Birthright Citizenship and Nationwide InjunctionsFrom President Donald Trump’s first term to his second, presidents have encountered a spike in judges’ orders that block presidents’ agendas on a nationwide basis. These nationwide injunctions have provoked concerns about the nation’s separation of powers and whether the judiciary is being gamed by political activists.Three of these injunctions have targeted Trump’s attempt to limit birthright citizenship, which is a major portion of his immigration agenda. While the justices could weigh in on the constitutionality of Trump’s order, they will likely focus, at this point in litigation, on whether judges are exceeding their authority with such orders.U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer told the justices in May that nationwide injunctions exceeded the power granted to judges under Article III of the Constitution. That article allows the federal judiciary to hear “cases” and “controversies,” a provision that some say means that judges’ orders should affect only the parties before them in court.It’s unclear how the court will rule. The justices seemed divided during oral arguments on May 15. Regardless, the decision could alter the balance of power in the federal government for generations to come.Sex and Gender in School LibrariesThe court is expected to weigh in soon in Mahmoud v. Taylor. The case is about whether schools should be able to require children’s participation involving storybooks with controversial content about sexuality and gender.A group of Christian and Muslim parents sued Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland, alleging that requiring their kids to hear storybooks without an opt-out on these topics burdened their parents’ exercise of religion under the First Amendment.Part of their argument cited a Supreme Court precedent known as Wisconsin v. Yoder (1972), which said parents have a constitutional right to direct the religious upbringing of their children. Among the cited content in the current case is “Born Ready,” a book with a transgender character named Penelope who identifies as a boy.The school district said that allowing children to opt out was not feasible and that its actions didn’t violate the First Amendment either because it wasn’t coercing children by exposing them to certain content.During oral arguments in April, the Supreme Court seemed inclined to rule in the parents’ favor but could see some dissent.Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, for example, asked how the county was burdening parents when they didn’t have to send their kids to public school. “You can put them in another situation,” she said. “You can home-school them.”Age Verification for Porn WebsitesAmid an explosion of online pornography, states have attempted to intervene to prevent health-related harms to young people. One such law from Texas has offered the justices an opportunity to analyze how regulations on pornography may or may not conflict with the First Amendment.The Texas law requires pornographic websites to verify the age of their users. A porn industry group, known as the Free Speech Coalition, alleged that the requirement was too broad and therefore violated the First Amendment.The coalition initially won in district court, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit allowed Texas’s age verification requirement to proceed. It said the requirement was rationally related to the state’s interest in protecting minors from pornography.The Free Speech Coalition told the Supreme Court that the Fifth Circuit should have applied strict scrutiny. Under that standard, governments have to show that their laws are not overly broad and serve a compelling state interest.Planned Parenthood and State Medicaid FundsPlanned Parenthood and abortion are back at the Supreme Court. But this time, the case focuses on how much money the abortion provider gets through Medicaid.In 2018, South Carolina’s government decided that abortion clinics enrolled in the program were unqualified to provide family planning services and shouldn’t receive funding.Planned Parenthood and a patient sued, arguing that the federal law establishing Medicaid allowed recipients to choose their providers. During oral argument on April 2, the Supreme Court weighed whether the law created an enforceable right for recipients to sue if they didn’t have access to the provider they chose.Obamacare Panel on Preventive MeasuresA separate, health-related case focuses on a panel set up under Obamacare, otherwise known as the Affordable Care Act, to recommend preventive care for insurance to cover. The legal issue the Supreme Court is reviewing is less about particular recommendations and more about the structure of the Preventive Services Task Force.A company known as Braidwood Management sued, alleging that the task force’s members had to be appointed by the president. They cited a provision of the Constitution known as the Appointments Clause.When the case, which was initiated during the first Trump administration, reached a federal appeals court, Braidwood won on that point. The Supreme Court reviewed the issue after the Biden administration asked it to intervene. The current Trump administration continued the legal defense of the task force.

New Medicaid work requirements proposed in Republicans’ “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” may prompt millions of Americans to lose coverage. Individuals ages 19 to 64 would need to work at least 80 hours per week to be eligible for coverage, unless they qualify for certain exemptions. Here’s what experts say about the proposal.Kevin Carter | Getty Images News | Getty ImagesAmerican flags are displayed on the lawn of the National Mall with the U.S. Capitol Building in the background on June 2, 2025, in Washington, D.C. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” that is making its way through Congress may put millions of people at risk of losing access to Medicaid.One reform that may prompt that loss of coverage — the implementation of new work requirements — was included in both the Senate and House versions of the bill.In 2034, about 4.8 million additional people would be uninsured based on work requirements in the House Republican budget bill, according to the Congressional Budget Office, a nonpartisan legislative scorekeeper.More from Personal Finance:Health-care cuts in GOP budget bill prompt medical debt: ReportSenate tax bill includes $1,000 baby bonus in ‘Trump accounts’‘SALT’ deduction in limbo as Senate Republicans unveil tax plan“There’s no question that millions of people will be harmed,” said Allison Orris, senior fellow and director of Medicaid policy at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.Overall, 16 million individuals may be uninsured by 2034, according to CBO, based on the combined effects of the House Republicans’ budget bill on Medicaid and Affordable Care Act coverage; the expiration of enhanced premium tax credits tied to the ACA; and a separate rule proposed by the Trump administration targeting ACA marketplaces.‘Big beautiful’ bill includes Medicaid work requirementsThe House and Senate versions of the “big beautiful” bill would impose federal work requirements on Medicaid for the first time.Per the House and Senate proposals, individuals ages 19 to 64 who apply for Medicaid or who are enrolled through Affordable Care Act expansion group would need to would need to work or participate in qualifying activities for 80 hours per month.Adults may be exempt if they have dependent children or have qualifying circumstances such as medical conditions; however, “exemptions don’t always work, and people could lose coverage anyway,” Orris said.Medicaid work requirements proposed in the House bill would cut federal spending by $344 billion over 10 years, representing the legislation’s largest source of Medicaid savings, according to KFF, a nonprofit provider of health policy research.Current law prohibits basing Medicaid eligibility on work requirements or work reporting requirements, according to KFF. “Many people on Medicaid, if they’re able to, are already working,” said Robin Rudowitz, director of the program on Medicaid and the uninsured at KFF.However, some states may implement work requirements if they receive approval through waivers. Georgia is currently the only state with a Medicaid work requirement. “Several” other states have recently submitted waiver requests to put such requirements in place, according to KFF.Arkansas previously implemented Medicaid work requirements. However, estimates have shown while more people became uninsured because of that policy, there were not meaningful increases in employment, according to Rudowitz.Senate work requirements would include some parentsThe Senate version of the bill introduced a “harsher” take on the work requirements that would apply to some parents, Orris said. The Senate calls for limiting parental exemptions to those with children ages 14 and under, rather than all parents of dependent children as the House proposed.Individuals who apply for Medicaid coverage would need to meet work and other requirements for one or more consecutive months before they apply. Eligibility redeterminations would be conducted at least twice per year to ensure enrollees still meet those requirements.The Senate version proposes capping the look-back period for showing compliance with work requirements to three months, which on net may be helpful to people, Orris said.If an individual is denied coverage or disenrolled because they do not meet the Medicaid work requirements, they would be ineligible for subsidized marketplace coverage.The Senate bill also allows for a longer timeline for states to comply with the Medicaid work requirements. The chamber’s bill would give states the ability to ask for a good faith waiver that would give them an additional two years to come into compliance with the provision, or until the end of 2028, rather than the end of 2026 in the House version.

Moves in Tencent shares were relatively muted, rising as much as 0.6%. But its over-the-counter shares in the U.S. were up 1.97% overnight, according to LSEG data.Shares of the gaming developers had taken a beating when Beijing enacted an 18-month freeze on game license approval until early 2022.Since then, the number of licenses has been on a steady rise.The number of new game licenses rose to 1,416 in 2024, near the level seen in 2020, and is expected to match or exceed 2019’s level this year.— Anniek BaoAustralia’s inflation rate hits 6-month low as food inflation softensAustralia’s monthly inflation rate came in at 2.1% in May, hitting its lowest level since October 2024.This was lower than the 2.3% expected by economists polled by Reuters, and also down from the 2.4% in April.Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics revealed that food and housing inflation also softened from the month before, while transport prices continued to decline.— Lim Hui JieOil prices climb over 1% after two sessions of declinesOil prices climbed over 1% in early Asia hours Wednesday after two sessions of declines stateside.U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude rose 1.34% to $65.23 per barrel, while global benchmark Brent was up 1.28% at $68 per barrel as of 9.18 a.m. Singapore time.This comes after oil prices tumbled for a second day Tuesday, as the market bet that a ceasefire between Israel and Iran would hold and the risk of a major crude supply disruption had faded.While there has been a brief recovery, the sharp decline in oil prices indicates the “continuing dominance of bears in the market,” said Alex Kuptsikevich, FxPro’s chief market analyst.—Lee Ying ShanChina doubles down on promoting yuan as confidence in U.S. dollar takes a beatingChina is devising more ways for foreign institutions to use the yuan, as international confidence in the U.S. dollar falters.The moves aim at challenging the greenback, experts said, even as the U.S. dollar remains by far the world’s predominant currency.

Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) slammed Meta Platforms, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:META) alleged tax windfalls under President Donald Trump's new legislative package, saying the benefits far outweigh what ordinary Americans could ever contribute.What Happened: Warren criticized a provision in Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" that she says offers Meta a massive tax break."If every one of the 340 million people in America paid a new $35 copay to visit the doctor, that still wouldn't be enough to cover how much Meta would get from just one tax break in Donald Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill,'" she posted on X, formerly Twitter.The U.S. population is estimated at 342 million, according to the Census — a number that, as Warren pointed out, wouldn’t be enough to offset the tax break given ...Full story available on Benzinga.com

The Anker 140W Charger has four ports, including two 140W ports rated at PD 3.1 each of which is powerful enough to fast charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro, although not at the same time as maximum power output is capped at 140W (and indeed 134W when charging four devices).Ugreen has a 4-port 160W wall charger with one 140W PD 3.1 port.If you need much more power, you should be looking for a desktop charger that connects to the power socket via an old-fashioned plug and cable. Desktop chargers has more ports and can output more power than wall chargers. They are ideal if you have a lot of devices requiring high power as they reduce the need for multiple individual chargers.Simon Jary / FoundryPorts of power1x USB-C (240W PD 3.1)4x USB-C (100W PD 3.0)1x USB-A (22.5W)The Nexode 500W boasts six front-facing charging ports: five USB-C and one legacy USB-A.The first USB-C port (C1) can output at a massive 240W, which is far more than any USB-C-powered devices require. Maxed-out power-hungry gaming laptops gain their power with a direct AC input rather than USB. We expect more electric bikes to charge via USB-C and 240W of power might be the sweet spot for those devices, but it’s rare in desk-based consumer electronics.The most you are likely to use it for is the 140W needed to fast charge the 16-inch MacBook Pro using either Apple’s MagSafe 3 cable or a 240W USB-C charge cable for post November 2023 models.(Note that the Nexode 500W doesn’t ship with a USB-C cable, so check that the cables you do have are rated as you will need them. Most USB-C charging cables max out at 60W. See our roundup of the best USB-C cables for recommendations.)The high-output C1 port is also fine to charge lower-powered devices, but its real strength is aimed at laptops that require a PD 3.1 (up to 240W) power source.The other four USB-C ports (C2, C3, and C4) are rated at 100W charging potential. The USB-A port can each output 20W.Maximum power output is 500W but you can’t just plug in five laptops and expect each to receive 100W at the same time. Chargers tend to have some limitations when powering multiple devices simultaneously.Ugreen lists 58 charging configurations in the user manual. If you use just three of the ports each will give you its maximum, but once you add a fourth, fifth or sixth, the remaining ports are compromised somewhat with the otherwise 100W ports dropping to 60W.500W is certainly possible. For example, 240W+100W+100W+60W. But Ugreen doesn’t state that you can get 140W+100W+100W+100W+60W. The C1 port reserves that whole 240W for itself and won’t share it if it’s not using it all. Effectively this makes the 500W max power output more like 400W due to 100W of the 240W realistically not being used or released to the other ports. Keeping the C1 to 140W and sharing the extra 100W would have offered more charging flexibility.In our tests, the Nexode 500W charged an iPhone 15 by 54%, an 11-inch iPad Pro by 36%, and a MacBook Air M3 by 50% in 30 minutes (this testing by Macwelt’s Thomas Bergbold).Four MacBooks can draw power at 60W each, with another at 140W. Even three 16-inch MacBooks running simultaneously can be charged: one fast-charged at 140W and the other two at 100W.Thomas Bergbold Who is it forHaving so much power to output to so many devices means the Nexode 500W Desktop Charger will be most useful in a conference room or in a classroom with five laptops needing just one charger; say at 240W+60W+60W+60W+60W.60W is enough to keep most laptops charged up and in use unless they are really pushing it on hungry video-editing applications.The benefit of one super-powered desktop charger is that you no longer need so many power points or individual wall chargers. It will reduce desk clutter and end a world of snaking cables slithering off the table to find a power outlet.DesignThe Nexode 500W measures 5.75 x 4.5 x 2.4 inches (14.6 x 11.5 x 6.1cm) and weighs a mighty 4.8lbs (2.2kg).That compares to the former power champ, the Ugreen Nexode 300W Desktop Charger, that has dimensions of 4.6 x 3.75 x 2.1 inches (11.6 x 9.5 x 5.3cm), and weighs about half as much.It’s certainly solid and you could hold a heavy gate open using it as a doorstop, but it’s good-looking in a slightly menacing way in dark gun-metal aluminum. The nicely rounded edges maybe soften the brutal looks.You might expect a 500W charger to get hot. We certainly know much lesser chargers can heat up quite quickly. But the Nexode 500W stayed quite cool even when we tested it with multiple devices charging.The base of the charger is fitted with large rubber feet to ensure a non-slip and stable stand.Thomas Bergbold It doesn’t have any flashy lights or informative digital display so if you want to know how much power is going where and when, you won’t learn much looking at its front although each of the five USB-C ports has its maximum power rating printed below it.If you want a desktop charger with a digital display showing charging status and speed we’d recommend the Anker Prime Charger that also boasts six ports but has a max power output of 250W.The charger draws power to itself via a kettle plug and a 6-foot (2m) power cable.Thomas Bergbold Price and competitionThe Ugreen Nexode 500W Desktop Charger is priced at $249.99 in the U.S., £219.99 in the U.K., and €249,99 in the E.U. There are cheaper desktop chargers but none with so much power on tap at the same time.The closest competition to the Nexode 500W is the five-port Nexode 300W ($199.99 / £149.99) in terms of number of ports and massive power output. The 500W model has the extra 200W oomph plus a sixth port. The 300W model also boasts a 140W port but only two at 100W, with the fourth USB-C port limited to 45W, although its USB-A port is a tiny bit more powerful at 22.5W.The $149.99 Satechi 200W USB-C 6-port PD GaN Charger is another option (direct / Amazon). While it boasts two 140W USB-C ports that 200W maximum makes this advantage meaningless.If you want truly intelligent power distribution, the best we’ve seen is the ten-port Plugable PS-10CC desktop charger that uses software-based real-time current sensing technology to deliver priority charging that distributes power across all connected devices, prioritized in the order you choose from left to right. As devices reach full charge, the now greater available power is reallocated down the line. While a lot more clever than the Nexode 500W, it’s limited to just 100W of total simultaneous output.Should you buy the Ugreen Nexode 500W Desktop Charger?You won’t find a desktop charger with this high a maximum power output, and few others boast as many ports. While not all the ports work at their fullest when used simultaneously due to the top port hogging 240W to itself, this well-constructed tidy power block is built for team use and is easily capable of powering five laptops and an iPad at the same time in a neat and cool package.
