In the August issue of the IEEE Spectrum magazine, read about if brain stimulation can break addiction, the long and winding road to the lithium battery, why the moon needs a power grid, and more.
Can Brain Stimulation Break Addiction?
 |
“Addiction is fundamentally a disease of malfunctioning brain circuits. The task for brain-stimulation researchers remains to find nodes in this aberrant circuitry that can be effectively modified with jolts of energy…“ |
A Game Changer for Fusion?
 |
“CFS, a startup spun out of decades of research at MIT, is among the leaders of a new wave of fusion-energy projects that have emerged in the past decade, taking advantage of technological advances as well as a surge in private-sector investment…” |
The Lithium Battery's Twisted Tale
 |
“50 years after the birth of the rechargeable lithium-ion battery, it’s easy to see its value. It’s used in billions of laptops, cellphones, power tools, and cars. Global sales top US $45 billion a year. And yet this transformative invention took nearly two decades to make it out of the lab…” |
The Moon Needs a Power Grid
 |
“Most deep-space missions survive with limited sunlight by employing radioisotope thermal generators. Due to the use of highly radioactive fuel, they present many safety challenges. Solar power would be a better solution if it could serve the extremes of the lunar surface…” |
