ABSTRACT

The sheared-flow stabilized Z pinch has demonstrated long-lived plasmas with fusion-relevant parameters. We present the first experimental results demonstrating sustained, quasi-steady-state neutron production from the fusion Z-pinch experiment, operated with a mixture of 20% deuterium/80% hydrogen by pressure. Neutron emissions lasting approximately 5  μs are reproducibly observed with pinch currents of approximately 200 kA during an approximately 16  μs period of plasma quiescence. The average neutron yield is estimated to be (1.25±0.45)×105  neutrons/pulse and scales with the square of the deuterium concentration. Coincident with the neutron signal, plasma temperatures of 1–2 keV and densities of approximately 1017  cm−3with 0.3 cm pinch radii are measured with fully integrated diagnostics.

yessssss - The Salk Institute’s Harnessing Plants Initiative (HPI) is an innovative, scalable and bold approach to fight climate change by optimizing a plant’s natural ability to capture and store carbon and adapt to diverse climate conditions. We believe that our approach can help draw down and store more carbon and that we can—combined with other global efforts—mitigate the disastrous effects of climate change while providing more food, fuel and fiber for a growing population. https://www.salk.edu/harnessing-plants-initiative/

The Salk Institute was funded $35 million for this work! By The Audacious Project, which has supported other projects that are very aligned with a solarpunk future as well 🙂 Such as: https://audaciousproject.org/ideas/2018/woods-hole-oceanographic-institution

The three roles of business models in societal transitions: New linkages between business model and transition research

Highlights

• We systematically explore the link between business model and transition theory.

• We show that business models play three roles within societal transitions.

• We explain how these three roles impact transitions as both drivers and barriers.

• We provide three illustrative cases from the ongoing energy transition in Germany.

• We derive implications for (sustainable) business model and transition research.

Abstract

Following recent calls from sustainable business model and transition research, we establish the link between both fields. We systematically integrate existing knowledge on business models into the well-established multi-level perspective on socio-technical transitions and identify three roles of business models and their respective impact on transition dynamics: (1) As part of the socio-technical regime, existing business models hamper transitions by reinforcing the current system's stability, (2) as intermediates between the technological niche and the socio-technical regime, business models drive transitions by facilitating the stabilization process of technological innovation and its breakthroughfrom niche to regime level, and (3) as non-technological niche innovation, novel business models drive transitions by building up a substantial part of a new regime without relying on technological innovation. We illustrate our findings with examples from the German energy sector and discuss our contributions to (sustainable) business model and transition research.
