  Running Shoes Keep Evolving—Now They’re Smarter Than Ever Over the past decade, sneakers have undergone a dramatic transformation — shifting from the stripped-down, barefoot-inspired designs of the early 2010s to today’s towering, high-tech platforms built to enhance both speed and comfort. The evolution, however, is far from over. Competition among sneaker makers is intensifying, with leading brands racing to push boundaries in design, technology, and performance. Brands like Brooks, New Balance, Hoka, and Nike are focusing on optimizing midsole foams — experimenting with new compositions, varying thickness, and re-engineered shapes — all with the goal of maximizing propulsion, cushioning, and overall comfort. These so-called “super shoes” have become staples for professional athletes and everyday runners alike. Yet, despite their benefits, they can’t fully eliminate one of the sport’s biggest challenges: injuries, which affect nearly half of all regular runners every year. Thi...

   Breakthrough in Fusion Energy: New Exhaust System Tackles Extreme Heat A team of international researchers has unveiled a major advancement in nuclear fusion technology, designing an exhaust system that dramatically reduces the extreme heat inside fusion reactors . Why This Matters Nuclear fusion has long been hailed as the future of clean, virtually limitless energy . But one of its biggest challenges remains the safe management of intense plasma heat , which can damage reactor walls. Overcoming this hurdle is essential to making fusion practical and cost-effective at scale. The Super-X Divertor Working on the Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak-Upgrade (MAST-U) in the U.K., scientists introduced an Alternative Divertor Configuration (ADC) known as the Super-X divertor . This design uses extended plasma “legs,” giving more room for plasma to cool before it reaches reactor walls. The system also creates a neutral gas buffer , further protecting the walls and improvin...
