Graphite's natural pores shown to have no impact on nuclear reactor performance
A remarkable study led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory answers a decades-old question in nuclear science: Do tiny pores in graphite affect nuclear reactor performance?

DOGE was never about efficiency.
It was the shotgun marriage of Project 2025 and
“We need something for Elon to do.”
America’s veterans paid the heaviest price for this Frankenstein’s monster,
which spent months clumsily strip-mining the federal government in order to make the rich richer.

Es ist schon schön zu sehen, wie richtig wir mit unserer Arbeit im Verein "Zuhause in Brandenburg e.V." und unserer Willkommensagentur lagen. Vor mehr als 15 Jahren waren wir die ersten die darauf hingewiesen und aktiv an Rückkehrinitiativen gearbeitet haben. Das hat uns diverse Preise auf Landes- und Bundesebene, Kooperationen und Unterstützung eingebracht. Wir haben die Landesregierung in Potsdam diesbezüglich beraten und gute Teile des Vernetzungskonzepts stammen von uns. Leider…
