The intruder stalks its prey with stealth and precision, preparing to puncture its quarry’s armor. Once inside, the aggressor forces its host to produce more intruders, and then causes it to explode, spewing out a multitude of invaders who can continue their rampage on a wider scale.

Les chercheurs d'un laboratoire américain, le National Ignition Facility (NIF), ont annoncé une « avancée historique » vers la fusion nucléaire par confinement inertiel. Ils se sont approchés du seuil d'ignition, nécessaire pour aller, à terme, vers une énergie économiquement soutenable.
HYBRIT, a partnership between a mining firm, an electric utility, and a steel company, made the world's first delivery of clean steel to Volvo.
This week, a Swedish firm announced it had delivered carbon-free steel to a customer—a world-first. It’s a huge step in the race to clean up one of the most carbon-intensive activities on Earth.
The rumour that battery cell manufacturer CATL wants to build a new factory in the immediate vicinity of the Tesla plant in Shanghai is confirmed. CATL has now officially announced that it has signed a framework agreement to this effect with the Shanghai municipal government.
Valmet Automotive and Fortum have agreed to cooperate on battery recycling. This will ensure safe and sustainable recycling of all non-compliant battery materials from the battery plants Valmet Automotive operates in Salo and Uusikaupunki, Finland.
The Finnish contract manufacturer Valmet assembles battery modules and systems from purchased cells at its sites. The battery systems are then either delivered to the customer or, if the customer has vehicles made to order by Valmet, installed directly in the vehicles.
