  Atoms Unleashed - Fusion's...

  Fusion energy, often described as the “holy grail” of power sources, holds the potential to revolutionize how we generate electricity and tackle global energy challenges. At its core, fusion is the process that powers the sun and stars, where two light atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing vast amounts of energy in the process. The promise of harnessing this natural phenomenon for human use is one of the most exciting scientific endeavors of our time. 
  The appeal of fusion energy lies in its virtually limitless potential. Unlike conventional energy sources such as fossil fuels, which are finite and contribute to environmental degradation, fusion uses fuels like deuterium and tritium, isotopes of hydrogen that are abundant in water and lithium. These fuels are not only plentiful, but the fusion process produces no greenhouse gases or long-lived radioactive waste, making it an incredibly clean energy source. In theory, fusion could provide an inexhaustible supply of energy, helping to meet the world’s growing demand while reducing the environmental impacts associated with other forms of energy production. 
  In addition to its environmental benefits, fusion energy promises to be a game-changer for energy security. As the global population increases and industrialization expands, the demand for energy will continue to rise. Traditional sources like coal, oil, and natural gas are becoming increasingly insufficient, both in terms of supply and sustainability. Nuclear fission, while capable of generating large amounts of energy, carries significant risks, such as nuclear accidents and the challenge of radioactive waste disposal. Fusion, on the other hand, offers a potentially safer alternative, with no risk of runaway reactions and no long-term waste problems.

  Down from the Mountain - The...

  The grizzly is one of North America's few remaining large predators. Their range is diminished, but they're spreading across the West again. Descending into valleys where once they were king, bears find the landscape they'd known for eons utterly changed by the new most dominant animal: humans. As the grizzlies approach, the people of the region are wary, at best, of their return. 
   
   
    
  In searing detail, award-winning writer, Montana rancher, and conservationist Bryce Andrews tells us about one such grizzly. Millie is a typical mother: strong, cunning, fiercely protective of her cubs. But raising those cubs—a challenging task in the best of times—becomes ever harder as the mountains change, the climate warms and people crowd the valleys. There are obvious dangers, like poachers, and subtle ones as well, like the corn field that draws her out of the foothills and sets her on a path toward trouble and ruin. 
   
   
    
  That trouble is where Bryce's story intersects with Millie's. It is the heart of Down from the Mountain, a singular drama evoking a much larger one: an entangled, bloody collision between two species in the modern-day West, where the shrinking wilds force man and bear into ever closer proximity.
