Realta Fusion、核融合反応から直接発電に成功——業界初の快挙
米スタートアップRealta Fusionが、核融合反応から直接電気を生成することに世界で初めて成功した。従来の核融合研究が熱を介して発電する間接的な方式を採っていたのに対し、同社は独自技術で融合反応のエネルギーを直接電力に変換。この成果は実用的な核融合発電への大きな前進と注目されている。

Roman Storm warns that the legal theory in his case could set a precedent making open-source developers liable for how others use their code, potentially criminalizing the mere publication of privacy, messaging, or crypto tools. He notes that developer Michael Lewellen cannot publish lawful code due to prosecution fears, and argues this chilling effect extends beyond any single case.
A new paper by Thomas Bloom, Will Sawin, Carl Schildkraut and Dmitrii Zhelezov disproves a well-known conjecture in additive combinatorics. The result shows there exist arbitrarily large finite sets A of real numbers where max(|A+A|,|AA|) ≤ |A|^{2-c}. The solution was achieved by humans using methods related to an earlier AI solution to the unit distance conjecture.
The Cyber Resilience Act introduces an open-source steward role but fails to provide funding for ongoing maintenance, leaving critical security work unfunded despite new regulatory obligations.
The article reflects on the author's experiences at UN Open Source Week 2026, literally interpreting the themes of roads and bridges as metaphors for digital infrastructure and open source collaboration at the United Nations.
The article discusses Scrutineer, a tool designed to scan open source projects for vulnerabilities without overwhelming maintainers with excessive notifications or false positives.
