Quick Glance: Global Coral Bleaching Event After Extreme Heat
- US climate agency NOAA declares a concerning global coral bleaching event for the fourth time in history after a year of extreme ocean heat.
- Impacts of coral bleaching span oceans worldwide, with sea surface temperatures at record levels.
- Corals under extreme heat stress can recover, but otherwise, the reef requires several years to regenerate.
- Despite losses, some reefs show signs of color, offering hope for potential recovery, while scientists caution about the escalating impacts.

Proxima Fusion raises $21M to build on its ‘stellarator’ approach to nuclear fusion
techcrunch.com/2024/04/09/proxima-fusion-raises-21m-to-build-on-its-stellarator-approach-to-nuclear-fusion/
Quick Glance: Proxima Fusion raises $21M to advance 'stellarator' nuclear fusion
- Venture capitalists' interest in fusion startups has fluctuated recently. Despite nuclear fusion companies attracting over $6 billion in investments in 2023, $1.4 billion more than in 2022, the 27% growth was slower due to external concerns like inflation.
- However, beyond the numbers, startup innovation in the field continues with novel approaches to harness the Sun's energy for safe and endless power.
- Proxima Fusion, the first spin-out of the renowned Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP), has raised €20 million ($21.7M) to kickstart the construction of its initial fusion power plants.
- The company's technology is based on 'quasi-isodynamic (QI) stellarators' with high-temperature superconductors, leveraging research from the Max Planck IPP, which developed the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) experiment, the world's largest stellarator.
