According to a report in Time this week, CFS’s breakthrough lies in its use of high-temperature superconducting tape capable of generating extremely strong magnetic fields that are believed to be able to maintain the extreme conditions needed for fusion. Based on such technologies, the company states that it is currently aiming to deliver net energy from fusion by 2027, with its first commercial fusion power plant scheduled for deployment in the early 2030s in Virginia.
Hype, or similar, takes the cryptoeconomists baton and runs fast forward towards tokenizing hundreds of trillions of real world assets.
Crypto alone is already eclipsing the old giants Prize that was Oil.
Tokenization means digitization. Fleshing out the Matrix.
The Matrix moves offworld with a good story to tell - the classy heroines story - leaving earth fallow. Better for Orca and Bear. Starbound now value freeroams the ultimate high frontier. Democracy and science run wild, naked and free over the sundappled uplands of cosmic cryptoanarchy.
Russian war blogger Rybar said the drone attacks meant there was "no rear" to the front lines any more and that travelling on the logistics routes had become "a lottery".
Keir Giles, an expert in Russia's military and author of multiple books, told the ABC that Ukraine's technological advances were significant.
"It's one of the area in which Ukraine is demonstrating that it has, through long hard work, arrived at a situation where it holds an advantage," he said.

Towering plumes of smoke and burnt-out vehicles are becoming an increasingly common sight on the highways of occupied Ukraine.
The Kremlin relies on these inter-city arteries, some of which are more than 100 kilometres behind the front lines, to get vital military and logistical supplies to its armed forces.
But lately, even Russia's famed war bloggers have conceded driving on these roads is now a dangerous "lottery".
Ukraine has developed AI-enabled drones capable of making precision strikes (like hitting a moving vehicle) from hundreds of kilometres away.
Now, military trucks and petrol tankers using this crucial land bridge between the Russian state and territory it occupies in southern Ukraine are being hit regularly.
The strikes have become so significant, some experts have declared the war that has been raging since Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022 has entered a new phase.

The Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a Washington DC-based non-partisan and not-for-profit organisation that tracks and assesses battlefield developments around the world, this week published a report that affirmed "Ukrainian forces are out-innovating Russian forces".
This ISW analysis asserted the war was now in "a new phase" defined by Ukraine's ability to disrupt Russian supply lines previously considered out of reach, among other things.
"Ukraine significantly intensified its intermediate-range strike campaign against dynamic targets in Spring 2026 in order to degrade Russian logistics at operational depths ahead of a planned Ukrainian manoeuvre," the report read.
It later noted: "Russian officials and milbloggers notably reported in mid-to-late May 2026 that Ukrainian drones were increasingly targeting Russian vehicles and logistics … at distances over 160km from the frontline."
The ISW has geolocated around three dozen attacks on vehicles on key highways behind the front lines, although anecdotal evidence suggests the number could be much higher.
The report concluded the war in Ukraine was "far from stalemated" — something at odds with the prevailing geo-political rhetoric that a Russian victory is inevitable or that neither country was capable of making a meaningful breakthrough.
Kateryna Stepanenko is the ISW's Russia team lead and co-authored the report.
She said Russia had once used the highways to rotate troops from the front lines, but that was becoming more difficult.
"It is a very significant accomplishment and technological advantage for Ukrainians as they're able to paralyse Russian forces before they're even able to reach the battlefield at distances of over 150 and 160 kilometres away," she told the ABC.
"It's no longer safe for Russian forces to operate in those areas.
Oana Toiu, Romania's foreign minister, confirmed to Euronews that the drone that struck Romania was of Russian origin and was carrying explosives.
Romania on Friday said a Russian drone carrying explosives crashed in the eastern city of Galați, causing a fire on the roof of a residential apartment block.

⚡️💬 NEW - American actor Duncan Trussell, who attended Peter Thiel’s Antichrist lecture, says Peter Thiel wants to change the Book of Revelation and reshape humanity’s future using advanced technology and AI.
Trussell claims Thiel wants to “fix the apocalypse” and believes he alone has the power to alter the destiny God has for the world. (WTF)
