![]() Chief engineer at ITER, Bécoulet explains how nuclear fusion – the process that makes stars shine – could be domesticated for commercial energy production, giving the world limitless power without depleting natural resources or damaging the environment. But as we enter what Alain Bécoulet describes in Star Power as the ‘third era’ of fusion energy, we are seeing the ITER project taking a ‘giant step’ in the development of a new type of power. For decades, fusion has been marginalised as a fringe area of scientific research. That world isn’t one of science fiction, but of nuclear fusion. Imagine a world where there is a clean, cheap and inexhaustible source of energy. The reactor, which is based in the south of France at Cadarache has been variously described as the most expensive science experiment of all time, the most complicated engineering project in human history and one of the most ambitious human collaborations since the development of the International Space Station. Research into nuclear fusion energy is an adventure on that scale, but to succeed in this sort of project you need to stick to a long-term plan.”īécoulet is chief engineer at the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), a global nuclear fusion research and engineering megaproject with the mission of replicating the fusion processes of the sun to create energy here on Earth. There are still some big adventures happening, such as the exploration of Mars. But you can’t develop a nuclear reactor in that time,” he says referring to his work at ITER. “You can develop washing machines or telephones on that sort of basis. People are only interested in time-to-market of three or four years,” Bécoulet explains. “Neither governments nor the public have the attention span to deal with long-term projects. It’s more that the finishing line is simply so far away in the distant future that the idea of all this cheap clean energy seems more like science fiction than scientific reality. The problem with nuclear fusion, he says, is not so much the scientific or technological difficulties associated with making it happen. ‘Star Power’ is Bécoulet’s highly readable attempt to provide the history and context of nuclear fusion, “in a way that will help us to understand where we are going with it and what’s left to be done.” He thinks that the public doesn’t understand how the international scientific research community is engaging with a technology that will one day democratise energy with cheap, sustainable, clean and green power for everyone. "It would be totally immoral in the history of mankind not to try and exploit it.“I wanted to explain as simply as possible the science and technology of nuclear fusion and I wanted to locate its place in the energy mix today.” Alain Bécoulet is discussing why an engineer with no previous experience as an author should want to take on the task of writing a primer on the subject of nuclear fusion. Ambrogio Fasoli, physics professor and chair of the international research consortium that made the breakthrough, told CBS News. in a compatible way with keeping our planet healthy," Dr. "Fusion has such a high potential to solve, or to contribute to solving, the energy issue. The scientists haven't yet managed to conduct fusion in a way that produces enough electricity to be the clean power supply they believe it eventually can be, but they say it would be unfair to humanity and the planet not to keep pushing for it. Fusion forces particles together, and can be done, the scientists say, much more safely, with much less radioactive material and much lower risk of accidents. Fission breaks particles apart to create energy. Nuclear fusion is the opposite of nuclear fission, the technology used today in nuclear power plants around the world. The development has put them on course, they say, to tapping an unlimited source of clean power - with no greenhouse gas emissions - in a matter of decades. London - Scientists at a lab in the United Kingdom have made a major breakthrough in creating electricity through nuclear fusion.

Bank) focused on consumer banking, it consistently produces some of the most impressive profitability and efficiency metrics in the sector and has been an excellent dividend stock for investors.īecause it doesn't depend on investment banking, which is generally the more volatile side of the banking business, U.S. Bancorp is primarily a commercial bank, with income from loans and other consumer banking products making up virtually all of its revenue. This can be a positive catalyst in turbulent economies since activities such as trading tend to perform strongly in volatile markets. JPMorgan Chase has also done an excellent job of embracing new technologies, and it has made some key investments in financial technology ( fintech) companies.Īlthough the company's Chase consumer banking operation is one of the largest in the U.S., it is worth noting that JPMorgan Chase has the largest investment banking operation of the companies discussed here. The bank has operations in just about every area of both commercial and investment banking, and it has done a particularly good job of expanding its credit card and auto loan businesses in recent years. JPMorgan Chase is hands-down the most profitable of the big universal banks, and it’s also the largest bank by market capitalization in the U.S. While Bank of America isn't completely immune to economic headwinds, it is in a strong position to weather most storms with a combination of an excellent retail banking operation and an investment bank that can benefit from market volatility. In recent years, the bank increased its loan portfolio at rates well ahead of its peers, and the company has made major improvements in efficiency while building out its online and mobile technology.īank of America's asset quality also is excellent, and, with a relatively high concentration of deposits that don't pay interest, the bank is in a strong position to benefit from rising interest rates in the current Federal Reserve Board rate hike cycle. However, at their core, these are the main ways that banks make their money.īank of America has been one of the most impressive turnaround stories in the post-financial crisis era, even as falling interest rates put pressure on its profitability. ![]() For example, many banks offer safe deposit boxes for lease to their customers, and some make money through partnerships with third-party companies. Banks have many other ways to generate revenue. Obviously, these are simplified definitions. Although commercial banks get the bulk of their profits from interest income and investment banks primarily rely on fee income, universal banks enjoy a nice combination of the two.

In March 2020, Seattle-based network security firm WatchGuard announced that they entered into an agreement to acquire Panda Security. In 2012, the firm was the tenth largest antivirus vendor worldwide, with 2.0% of the marketplace. On 3 August 2010, a new office location in Menlo Park, California was publicly announced by Panda's CEO via his Twitter account. In 2013, Panda prevailed in its lawsuit against External Technologies, recovering a judgment in excess of $100,000 and prevailing on all claims asserted by External against Panda. Panda was previously embroiled in a lawsuit with one of its channel partners, External Technologies, Inc. In late 2009, Panda Security created a partnership with Web of Trust to help fight against the war of viruses. The US subsidiary moved its headquarters to Orlando, Florida in 2009. Additionally, it has franchises in another 44 countries. The firm has subsidiaries in the US, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, UK, Sweden, Finland, Spain, and Japan. According to its CEO, the main benefit this security model provides is that it allows automatic scanning of threats instead of the manual scans carried out by other companies. Technological milestones include its launch of security systems, such as the SaaS concept (Security as a Service) or antivirus solutions that provide protection from the cloud ( cloud computing) and are based on what Panda calls Collective Intelligence, a security model Panda introduced on the market in 2007. Panda Security is rated in Jan 2018 by Gartner analysts as an Endpoint Protection Visionary. Santana resigned in September 2011 and was replaced by José Sancho as acting CEO. Almost one year later, on 3 June 2008, amidst flagging sales, the board of directors voted to replace Dinares with Juan Santana, the CEO.

At Scott Russell's suggestion, they approached the directors of the Eastern Steam Navigation Company with the new design plan. He calculated that it would have a displacement of 20,000 tons and would require 8,500 horsepower (6,300 kW) to achieve 14 knots (26 km/h 16 mph), but believed it was possible. Scott Russell examined Brunel's plan and made his own calculations as to the ship's feasibility. īrunel showed his idea to John Scott Russell, an experienced naval architect and ship builder whom he had first met at the Great Exhibition. Although Brunel had pioneered the screw propeller on a large scale with Great Britain, he did not believe that it was possible to build a single propeller and shaft (or, for that matter, a paddleshaft) that could transmit the required power to drive his giant ship at the required speed. ![]() Brunel realised that the ship would need more than one propulsion system since twin screws were still very much experimental, he settled on a combination of a single screw and paddle wheels, with auxiliary sail power. These measurements were six times larger by volume than any ship afloat such a large vessel would benefit from economies of scale and would be both fast and economical, requiring fewer crew than the equivalent tonnage made up of smaller ships. On 25 March 1852, Brunel made a sketch of a steamship in his diary and wrote beneath it: "Say 600 ft x 65 ft x 30 ft" (180 m x 20 m x 9.1 m). ![]() Brunel saw the ship as being able to effectively monopolize trade with Asia and Australia, making regular trips between Britain and either Trincomalee or Australia. With a planned capacity of 15,000 tons of coal, Great Eastern was envisioned as being able to sail halfway around the world without taking on coal, while also carrying so much cargo and passengers that papers described her as a "floating city" and "the Crystal Palace of the sea". The famous photograph by Robert Howlett of Brunel before the ship's launching chainsĪfter his success in pioneering steam travel to North America with Great Western and Great Britain, Brunel turned his attention to a vessel capable of making longer voyages as far as Australia. Finishing her life as a floating music hall and advertising hoarding (for the department store Lewis's) in Liverpool, she was broken up on Merseyside in 1889. After repairs, she plied for several years as a passenger liner between Britain and North America before being converted to a cable-laying ship and laying the first lasting transatlantic telegraph cable in 1866. He died in 1859 shortly after her maiden voyage, during which she was damaged by an explosion. The vessel also had the largest set of paddle wheels.īrunel knew her affectionately as the "Great Babe". The ship's five funnels were rare and were later reduced to four. Her length of 692 feet (211 m) was surpassed only in 1899 by the 705-foot (215 m) 17,274-gross-ton RMS Oceanic, her gross tonnage of 18,915 was only surpassed in 1901 by the 701-foot (214 m) 20,904-gross-ton RMS Celtic and her 4,000-passenger capacity was surpassed in 1913 by the 4,234-passenger SS Imperator. She was the largest ship ever built at the time of her 1858 launch, and had the capacity to carry 4,000 passengers from England to Australia without refuelling. at Millwall Iron Works on the River Thames, London.
