New Zealand mayor goes nuclear after Trump claims US 'split the
atom'
January 21, 2025
A small town mayor in New Zealand has picked a nuclear fight with
Donald Trump, after the freshly sworn-in US president heaped
praise on American scientists for splitting the atom.
Trump's inauguration address rattled off a list of crowning
American feats such as ending slavery, launching into space, and
the moment they "split the atom".
The mayor of Nelson in New Zealand's South Island seized on the
sub-atomic slight, pointing out that work to split the atom was
actually pioneered by Kiwi-born physicist Ernest Rutherford.
"I was a bit surprised by new President Donald Trump in his
inauguration speech about US greatness claiming today Americans
'split the atom' when that honor belongs to Nelson's most famous
and favorite son Sir Ernest Rutherford," mayor Nick Smith wrote
on social media.
Credited with splitting the nucleus of an atom during experiments
at UK's Manchester University in 1917, Rutherford was "the first
to artificially induce a nuclear reaction by bombarding nitrogen
nuclei with alpha particles", Smith said.
He added that he would invite the incoming US ambassador to visit
the Rutherford memorial in Nelson, population 50,000, "so we can
keep the historic record on who split the atom first accurate".
Widely regarded as the "father of nuclear physics", Rutherford
was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1908 for earlier
work on radioactivity.
He remains one of New Zealand's most famous sons, and his face
still adorns the country's $100 bill.

NASA's 3D-printed antenna takes additive manufacturing to new
heights
by Kendall Murphy, NASA
January 22, 2025
In fall 2024, NASA developed and tested a 3D-printed antenna to
demonstrate a low-cost capability to communicate science data to
Earth. The antenna, tested in flight using an atmospheric weather
balloon, could open the door for using 3D printing as a
cost-effective development solution for the ever-increasing
number of science and exploration missions.
For this technology demonstration, engineers from NASA's Near
Space Network designed and built a 3D-printed antenna, tested it
with the network's relay satellites, and 1 k~hÎ an on a
weather balloon.
The 3D printing process, also known as additive manufacturing,
creates a physical object from a digital model by adding multiple
layers of material on top of each other, usually as a liquid,
powder, or filament. The bulk of the 3D-printed antenna uses a
low electrical resistance, tunable, ceramic-filled polymer
material.
Using a printer supplied by Fortify, the team had full control
over several of the electromagnetic and mechanical properties
that standard 3D printing processes do not. Once NASA acquired
the printer, this technology enabled the team to design and print
an antenna for the balloon in a matter of hours. Teams printed
the conductive part of the antenna with one of several different
conductive ink printers used during the experiment.
For this technology demonstration, the network team designed and
built a 3D-printed magneto-electric dipole antenna and flew it on
a weather balloon. A dipole antenna is commonly used in radio and
telecommunications. The antenna has two "poles," creating a
radiation pattern similar to a donut shape.
Testing
The antenna, a collaboration between engineers within NASA's
Scientific Balloon Program and the agency's Space Communications
and Navigation (SCaN) program, was created to showcase the
capabilities of low-cost design and manufacturing.
Following manufacturing, the antenna was assembled and tested at
NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, in the
center's electromagnetic anechoic chamber.
The anechoic chamber is the quietest room at Goddard—a shielded
space designed and constructed to both resist intrusive
electromagnetic waves and suppreseo /gr emission to the outside
world. This chamber eliminates echoes and reflections of
electromagnetic waves to simulate the relative "quiet" of space.
To prepare for testing, NASA intern Alex Moricette installed the
antenna onto the mast of the anechoic chamber. The antenna
development team used the chamber to test its performance in a
space-like environment and ensure it functioned as intended.
Once completed, NASA antenna engineers conducted final field
testing at NASA's Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility in
Palestine, Texas, before liftoff.
The team coordinated links with the Near Space Network's relay
fleet to test the 3D-printed antenna's ability to send and
receive data.
The team monitored performance by sending signals to and from the
3D-printed antenna and the balloon's planned communications
system, a standard satellite antenna. Both antennas were tested
at various angles and elevations. By comparing the 3D-printed
antenna with the standard antenna, they established a baseline
for optimal performance.
In the air
During flight, the weather balloon and hosted 3D-printed antenna
were tested for environmental survivability at 100,000 feet and
were safely recovered.
For decades, NASA's Scientific Balloon Program, managed by NASA's
Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, has used balloons to carry
science payloads into the atmosphere. Weather balloons carry
instruments that measure atmospheric pressure, temperature,
humidity, wind speed, and direction. The information gathered is
transmitted back to a ground station for mission use.
The demonstration revealed the team's anticipated results: that
with rapid prototyping and production capabilities of 3D printing
technology, NASA can create high-performance communics ion
antennas tailored to mission specifications faster than ever
before.
Implementing these modern technological advancements is vital for
NASA, not only to reduce costs for legacy platforms but also to
enable future missions.

January 8, 2025
Grapefruit and pummelo contain compounds called furanocoumarins
that may affect the blood levels of more than 100 prescription
drugs, so people taking these medications are advised to remove
these fruits from their diets.
Research published in New Phytologist reveals genetic information
about the synthesis of furanocoumarins in different citrus plant
tissues and species and provides new insights that could be used
to develop grapefruit and pummelo that lack furanocoumarins.
The research indicates that the production of furanocoumarins in
citrus fruit is dependent on the integrity of a single gene
within a multi-gene cluster that encodes enzymes of the
2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase family.
"This research helps us to understand why fruit of certain citrus
species produce furanocoumarins and demonstrates how breeders and
researchers could develop furanocoumarin-free citrus varieties,"
said co–corresponding author Yoram Eyal, Ph.D., of the Volcani
Center, in Israel.

How Norway became the trailblazer for electric vehicles
Nik Martin
January 8, 2025
Norway set a goal for all new cars sold to be electric by 2025, a
decade ahead of the European Union. Subsidies and incentives have
helped the Nordic country almost realize its goal, so what can
others learn?
Norway has become the poster child for the transition to electric
vehicles (EVs). Last year, official government statistics showed
that almost nine out of every 10 cars sold were electric.
In 2023 — the most recent year that data is available — the
global EV adoption rate was just 18%, according to the
International Energy Agency.
The Nordic country has made a remarkable commitment to combating
climate change, driven by strong government policies, robust
infrastructure, and a supportive public.
Norway aims for all passenger cars sold to be zero-emission
vehicles by the end of this year, a decade ahead of the European
Union — of which it is not a member.
Rich, small population, plus strong incentives
Norway's wealth and size undoubtedly played a role in its EV
success. The country has a population of 5.5 million and is one
of the world's richest nations, thanks to substantial oil
reserves — the largest in Europe after Russia. However, these
factors alone don't fully explain the remarkable progress made.
Robbie Andrew, a senior scientist at the Oslo-based CICERO Center
for International Climate Research, thinks Norway's decades-long
commitment to domestic EV development was a critical factor.
"In the 1990s, Norway made efforts to create a company to
manufacture EVs," Andrew told DW, noting how the absence of a
powerful domestic auto industry lobby facilitated these
initiatives.
Although early attempts at EV production had limited commercial
success — only a few thousand vehicles were sold — they fostered
public awareness and acceptance of electromobility. This paved
the way for the widespread adoption of battery-powered cars from
global manufacturers like Tesla and Volkswagen.
Tax breaks and ease of movement helped
Favorable state policies have, undoubtedly, helped smooth the
transition to electric vehicles. Norway levied no VAT
(Value-added tax) or import duties on EVs, which can make up
between a third and almost half of the cost of a new car.
EVs were also exempt from toll road charges and parking fees.
They could even use bus lanes in and around the capital, Oslo.
Higher-income groups benefited the most from the tax breaks and
the newly purchased EV was often a second family car.
Having almost reached the 2025 adoption goal, the government
recently rolled back some of those incentives. VAT is now
partially applied to large and luxury EVs, costing more than
500,000 kroner ($44,200, €42,500). Drivers from low-income groups
still gain from many of the incentives and falling electric
vehicle prices.
Bjorne Grimsrud, director of the Oslo-based transportation
research center TOI, thinks the government incentives have been
"very costly" but affordable, given the country's wealth and
desire to be climate-neutral by 2050.
"The government used to collect 75 billion kroner annually from
taxes and tolls on cars, but that has been cut in half," Grimsrud
told DW.
EV adoption elsewhere hurt by subsidy cuts
Other countries, including Germany, have been accused of
backsliding on climate-mitigation goals by cutting subsidies for
new electric vehicles long before targets are reached. On Monday,
the KBA federal transport authority revealed that 27.4% fewer EVs
were registered in 2024 in Germany, Europe's largest auto market.
Those decisions will need to be reconsidered, if Germany, a major
EV manufacturer, is to meet its target of having 15 million
electric vehicles on the road by 2030.
Norway prioritized home charging points
For Norway, another advantage is the power grid — one of the
greenest and most robust in the world. Hydropower accounts for
more than 90% of the country's electricity production, typically
producing a surplus of energy, which helped facilitate the home
charging of EVs.
"Whereas access can be a challenge elsewhere in Europe, most
Norwegians can charge their EV at home [rather than at public
charging points]," Grimsrud said.
A 2022 study by the Norwegian EV Association found around
three-quarters of electric vehicle owners live in detached homes,
which made it easier to install home-charging boxes. A report by
the London-based consultancy LCP found that 82% of EVs in Norway
are charged at home, although this figure is lower in urban
areas.
"The ubiquity of Level 1 charging in Norway probably made a much
bigger impact [on EV adoption]," Lance Noel, product lead at the
San Diego-based Center for Sustainable Energy, told DW. Level 1
charging refers to the lower-power charging stations used at
homes, businesses, and schools.
Noel said other countries would do well to "think of cheaper and
more visible ways to make EVs integrated with society" rather
than prioritizing faster, public charging infrastructure, known
as Level 2 and 3.
Trump unlikely to replicate Norway's success
As they await the return of Donald Trump to the White House, many
Americans are concerned he will shift from the Biden
administration's policies aimed at promoting EV adoption,
somewhat modeling Norway's achievements.
The Republican president-elect has pledged to terminate federal
tax credits of up to $7,500 (€7,230) for EV purchases as well as
levying new tariffs on foreign automakers, which could fuel
higher prices. Several US states also plan to shrink their own EV
incentives. This is despite a projection from Cox Automotive
that US EV adoption would reach just 8% last year.
The US has also seen a slowdown in EV sales in recent months, due
to affordability concerns and a lack of charging infrastructure.
Last week, Tesla reported its first sales decline in over a
decade.
Noting how EV policies are likely to take a "step back" under
Trump, Noel, who previously researched EV adoption in Nordic
countries said it was hardly a surprise that countries investing
the most in EV policy are reaping the most rewards.
"Perhaps the way countries that struggle the most to replicate
what Norway has done will be to find the political willpower to
have strong and clear policies," he added.

What is Bluesky, the fast-growing social platform welcoming
fleeing X users?
November 16, 2024
Disgruntled X users are again flocking to Bluesky, a newer social
media platform that grew out of the former Twitter before
billionaire Elon Musk took it over in 2022. While it remains
small compared to established online spaces such as X, it has
emerged as an alternative for those looking for a different mood,
lighter and friendlier and less influenced by Musk.
What is Bluesky?
Championed by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, Bluesky was an
invitation-only space until it opened to the public in February.
That invite-only period gave the site time to build out
moderation tools and other features. The platform resembles
Musk's X, with a "discover" feed and a chronological feed for
accounts that users follow. Users can send direct messages and
pin posts, as well as find "starter packs" that provide a curated
list of people and custom feeds to follow.
Why is Bluesky growing?
Bluesky said in mid-November that its total users surged to 15
million, up from roughly 13 million at the end of October, as
some X users look for an alternative platform to post their
thoughts and talk to others online. The post-election uptick in
users isn't the first time Bluesky has benefited from people
leaving X. The platform gained 2.6 million users in the week
after X was banned in Brazil in August—85% of them from Brazil,
the company said. About 500,000 new users signed up in one day in
October, when X signaled that blocked accounts would be able to
see a user's public posts.
Across the platform, new users—among them journalists,
left-leaning politicians and celebrities—have posted memes and
shared that they were looking forward to using a space free from
advertisements and hate speech. Some said it reminded them of the
early days of Twitter more than a decade ago.
Despite Bluesky's growth, X posted after the election that it had
"dominated the global conversation on the U.S. election" and had
set new records.
Beyond social networking
Bluesky, though, has bigger ambitions than to supplant X. Beyond
the platform itself, it is building a technical foundation—what
it calls "a protocol for public conversation"—that could make
social networks work across different platforms—also known as
interoperability—like email, blogs or phone numbers.
Currently, you can't cross between social platforms to leave a
comment on someone's account. Twitter users must stay on Twitter
and TikTok users must stay on TikTok if they want to interact
with accounts on those services. Big Tech companies have largely
built moats around their online properties, which helps serve
their advertising-focused business models.
Bluesky is trying to reimagine all of this and working toward
interoperability.

Germany assumes sabotage after Baltic Sea data cable damaged
November 19, 2024
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said on Tuesday that the
damage to an undersea data cable running from Germany to Finland
was likely due to sabotage.
The damage to the C-Lion1 cable was first reported on Monday with
officials saying the 1,173-kilometer (729-mile) line had been
cut, although the impact would probably not be noticeable for
most people.
Sweden's Civil Defense Minister Carl-Oskar Bohlin also reported
on Monday that a second undersea cable had been damaged,
according to the French press agency AFP.
The incident occurred in the same maritime region where the Nord
Stream pipelines were sabotaged in 2022 following Russia's
invasion of Ukraine earlier that year.
'Can't all just be coincidences'
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said Europe would
remain united in light of the hybrid threats following the cut in
the fiber-optic cables in the Baltic Sea.
"We are now also experiencing this in Germany … with cyber
attacks, with the surveillance of critical infrastructure,
parcels suddenly exploding when transported on planes and
yesterday … a data cable between Finland and Germany which
probably also affected Sweden," said Baerbock. "These can't all
just be coincidences."
What else did Germany say about the damaged Baltic Sea cable?
"No one believes that these cables were cut accidentally. I also
don't want to believe in versions that these were anchors that
accidentally caused damage over these cables," Pistorius said
before a meeting with EU defense ministers in Brussels.
"Therefore, we have to state, without knowing specifically who it
came from, that it is a 'hybrid' action. And we also have to
assume, without knowing it yet, that it is sabotage," he added.
While Pistorius was unable to produce any evidence for his
suspicions, his Estonian counterpart Hanno Pevkur also said it
was not a "natural cause" based on their preliminary information.
A joint statement from the German and Finnish Foreign Ministers
on Monday evening said: "Our European security is not only under
threat from Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, but also
from hybrid warfare by malicious actors."
Additional reporting by Teri Schultz.
Following reports that a data cable connecting Germany and Finland had been cut, Germany has ruled out an accident. It remains unclear who w
