The USCSS Maginot , a Weyland-Yutani deep space research vessel, approaches Earth after a 65-year expedition to obtain extra-terrestrial specimens, among them . On Earth, at Prodigy's Neverland research island, a terminally ill child named Marcy becomes the first hybrid, having her consciousness transferred to an adult synthetic, and renames herself Wendy. Adjusting to her new body with the assistance of synthetic mentor Kirsh, Wendy oversees several other children who undergo the procedure. A malfunction compromises the Maginot's navigation, placing it on a collision course with Earth. Some specimens escape, and a grown  kills most of the crew. It crashes into a tower in the Prodigy city of New , where Wendy's human brother Joe Hermit works as a medic and corporate soldier. CEO Boy Kavalier asserts the Maginot's contents now belong to Prodigy, and deploys Kirsh and the hybrids on Wendy's request to assist with search and rescue to test the hybrids capabilities. Security officer Morrow, who survived the crash in a reinforced , moves to protect the cargo and detains two Prodigy soldiers, who are killed by a -like specimen. Wendy remarks to Kirsh that she wants to save her brother from death. 2 "" Noah Hawley August 12, 2025 0.380 Boy Kavalier tells Dame Sylvia, that he formed the Hybrid project to allow humanity to compete with , and has granted Wendy additional abilities as he wishes to create a person smarter than him. Kavalier declines Weyland-Yutani's request to secure the Maginot's proprietary contents, warning any incursion on Prodigy's territory will be considered a hostile act. Joe is chased by a Xenomorph and separated from his colleagues. The Xenomorph tracks Joe to the higher floors of the tower, killing another soldier and massacring an apartment of wealthy residents who did not evacuate. Joe is saved by Morrow, who  Joe and the Xenomorph, but the Xenomorph regains consciousness and escapes after killing numerous other soldiers, sparing Morrow. Arriving in New Siam, Hybrids Tootles, Smee, Nibs, and Curly encounter other extraterrestrial specimens. Wendy locates Joe along with Slightly but Joe does not recognize Wendy. Slightly reveals Wendy's true identity to a shocked Joe who believed Wendy/Marcy had died. The three encounter several Xenomorph eggs and are ordered by Kirsh to contain them until a  team arrives. Joe is dragged away by the Xenomorph, and Wendy chases after it. 3 "" Dana Gonzales Noah Hawley and  August 19, 2025 0.441 Nibs questions Curly about why the hybrids are all named after  characters and why Marcy gets to be Wendy. Kavalier orders the specimens be brought to Neverland Island for study, despite objections from Kirsh and Dame Sylvia. Morrow finds Smee and Slightly guarding the Xenomorph eggs and interrogates them, suspicious of their childlike behavior. Morrow downloads all the data from the Maginot and erases the data from the source. Kirsh confronts Morrow and Morrow plants a device on Slightly's neck before escaping. Meanwhile, Wendy and Joe fight the Xenomorph with a , and Wendy kills the Xenomorph, although both sustain serious injuries. Returning to the island, Joe undergoes surgery and the Arthur and Dame tend to Wendy. Having escaped into New Siam, Morrow calls Ms. Yutani, and insists on retrieving the specimens despite being ordered to return home. Curly confronts Kavalier about his favoritism towards Wendy, asserting herself to be the best hybrid. Morrow contacts Slightly via the embedded device, convincing Slightly to be Morrow's friend. Kirsh, Tootles, and Curly dissect a facehugger and introduce its larva to Joe's damaged lung, removed during surgery. Wendy awakens, seemingly intercepting signals from the Xenomorph eggs which cause pain. Wendy ultimately collapses in the laboratory containing the eggs. 4 "" Ugla Hauksdóttir Noah Hawley and Bobak Esfarjani August 26, 2025 0.393 When Wendy wakes up, Arthur adjusts her hearing so Wendy can hear the Xenomorph eggs without experiencing pain, and Wendy discovers she can speak the Xenomorphs' language in a frequency audible to humans. Kirsh and Tootles test Trypanohyncha Ocellus (an octopus-like creature) on a sheep, and it implants itself in the sheep's brain via its eye socket. Tootles names himself as Issac. Kumi Morrow pressures Slightly into revealing his real name, Aarush Singh, and he is from India, as a sign of trust, and asks Slightly to steal a Xenomorph egg. Nibs, claiming to be pregnant, becomes violent after Dame Sylvia tries to interrogate her about the rescue mission, and is unknowingly put under house arrest. Joe, jaded after seeing how Wendy is treated as an experiment, attempts to quit and leave. However, Atom Eins tells Joe that if he does, Joe will be sent a large bill for his new lung and never see Wendy again. Slightly contacts Morrow to tell him that he cannot steal an egg, but the latter reveals he used Slightly's real name to track down his family, and uses them as blackmail. Morrow instructs Slightly to take a human near the eggs so they can be infected by a facehugger. It is revealed that Kirsh had been eavesdropping on Morrow and Slightly's conversations. Later, Wendy observes the Xenomorph-infected lung as the newborn Xenomorph bursts out, and Wendy placates it by communicating. 5 "" Noah Hawley Noah Hawley September 2, 2025 0.361 A flashback shows the events that occurred on the Maginot before it reached Earth. Junior security officer Clem wakes Morrow from cryo-sleep and tells him that a fire has led to two facehuggers escaping containment, which latched onto Captain Dinsdale and Science Officer Bronski. Dinsdale dies from the facehugger's acid blood when medical officer Rahim attempts to cut its tail. After being told by engineer Shmuel that the ship's navigational systems were also damaged in the fire, Morrow concludes that someone has sabotaged the ship. Executive officer Zaveri assumes command of the ship, but Morrow threatens to relieve her if she does not prioritize the creatures above the crew. Bronski is placed in cryo-sleep to prevent the gestation of the Xenomorph, but this fails. In science officer Chibuzo's lab, one leech specimen manages to open its test tube from the inside, and lays its larvae in her water bottle. Witnessing this, the Ocellus also escapes afterwards. Apprentice engineer Malachite drinks the water, and the larvae kill him internally; Chibuzo and Rahim are killed by their defensive toxic gas when trying to extract them. Navigator Teng is killed by the now full-grown Xenomorph. Chief engineer Petrovich is revealed to be behind the sabotage, having been promised a hybrid body by Kavalier if the ship crashes in Prodigy territory. Petrovich kills Clem and is in turn killed by Morrow, who retreats to the control room and seals himself in. Zaveri is killed by the Xenomorph outside the door. With everyone dead, Morrow locks himself in the panic room and awaits the crash. Back in the present, Morrow meets with Yutani, offering to retrieve the specimens by force and kill Kavalier. 6 "" Ugla Hauksdóttir Noah Hawley and Lisa Long September 9, 2025 0.478 As the Xenomorph grows, Wendy works on communicating with it. Nibs undergoes testing, prompting Atom Eins to demand her memory be reset to before the Maginot's crash. Dame reluctantly accepts, but Arthur refuses, and is fired under threat of execution if he is not gone by the end of the day. Wendy, disturbed by Nibs' behavior afterwards, learns she was reprogrammed. Meanwhile, Kavalier meets with Yutani over the ship's return and outwits her, securing 20 billion in damages while keeping the specimens for 6 weeks due to quarantine. Kirsh asks Tootles to feed and water the specimens while he is away. However, the Ocellus surprises him into accidentally locking himself in the same cage as two fly-like creatures, who kill him with acid and feed on his body. Slightly tries to lure Joe to the alien eggs, but he declines due to reassignment. Joe later visits a packing Arthur, who covertly deactivates Wendy's tracking device and gives Joe a boat code to allow them to escape. Noticing Tootles is disconnected, he goes to the lab accompanied by Slightly, who opens the cage of the Xenomorph eggs and locks him in, allowing a facehugger to latch onto Arthur. Kirsh watches this through security cameras, but does not tell Kavalier. Slightly hides along with Arthur's body in an air vent as the flies leave their cell. 7 "" Dana Gonzales Noah Hawley and Maria Melnik September 16, 2025 0.385 Smee discovers Slightly hiding an incapacitated Arthur, and the latter convinces him to help deliver Arthur to Morrow on the beach. Security re-secures the lab specimens. Wendy is disgusted by Kavalier's attitude to Tootles' death, and convinces Nibs to join her and Joe in escaping the island. On her way out, Wendy hacks the lab system, releasing the grown , which rampages and escapes into the forest. Kirsh finds Slightly and Smee carrying Arthur's body, but helps them take a faster route to the beach. Outside, Arthur awakes after the  dies. Shortly after, a newborn Xenomorph bursts from his chest and escapes. The hybrids take the corpse to the beach, where Morrow's Yutani team meets them. Having failed to bring him the newborn, Morrow takes them captive. After Kirsh shows him the Ocellus caused the lab accident, Kavalier becomes fascinated with the creature's intelligence, and wants to place it into a human host. Outside, Wendy, Joe, and Nibs are held at gunpoint by Yutani forces, but Wendy calls the Xenomorph which kills them. She comforts it, sparing them. Morrow's team enter the facility, but they are taken captive by Kirsh, who has also captured the newborn Xenomorph. Wendy, Joe, and Nibs reach the boat, but they are intercepted by Neverland security. Nibs, frustrated, brutally kills a soldier, prompting Joe to incapacitate her. A shocked Wendy scolds Joe, as the Xenomorph watches in the distance. 8 "" Dana Gonzales Noah Hawley &  September 23, 2025 0.469 The hybrids have been imprisoned in one cell, with Joe and Morrow in another. Wendy uses her abilities to block the facility's cameras and communications. She struggles with Joe's decision to shoot Nibs, believing he chose to ally himself with humans instead of her, but ultimately unlocks his cell. Kavalier approaches the hybrids and reveals that at six years old, he built his own synthetic which he used to kill his abusive father. Wendy unlocks their cell, Nibs kills Kavalier's bodyguard, and Kavalier flees. Morrow attacks Kirsh in the lab; Kirsh is badly damaged, but ultimately chokes Morrow unconscious. Smee and Slightly arrive in the lab and they take both Kirsh and Morrow, while Nibs captures Dame. Meanwhile, Atom lures Joe to Kavalier's room and locks him in with the Ocellus. Wendy arrives to save him and fights Atom, who reveals himself as a synthetic, allowing Wendy to control his motor functions. The Ocellus escapes to the beach, where it possesses Arthur's corpse. With the help of the older Xenomorph, Wendy and Joe capture Kavalier and lock him in a cell with Kirsh, Atom, Dame, and Morrow. As Yutani and her team approach the island, Wendy, with both Xenomorphs nearby, declares, "Now, we rule."

Not all reviews were positive. Dominic Baez of  criticized the show's pace and uneven story, writing, "Its examination of identity ... is less insightful than it wants to be, buckling under the weight of its own unanswered questions.

Hawley expects a renewal decision to be made "soon" after the airing of the season finale on September 23, 2025, once its viewership can be evaluated. In another interview, Hawley said that he hopes to have a decision "in the next couple of months."    

In this episode James P. Dowling talks us through the unlikely friendship between physicist Wolfgang Pauli and psychologist Carl Jung. Their dialogue on quantum mechanics and archetypes pulled science and myth into the same room, forcing each to reckon with the other's language. Out of their exchanges came visions of atoms haunted by the unconscious, and shadows that reached into equations. We follow their conversation to ask what happens when reason and dream try to share the same desk.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-hereJames' website: https://jungtoliveby.com/00:00 Go! 00:08:00 The Trickster Archetype and Personal Development00:12:00 Intuition and Rationality in Model Making00:16:00 Consequences of the Enlightenment and Modernity00:20:00 Historical Lessons from the French Revolution00:22:23 Discussion of Instinct vs. Rationality in Human Behavior00:24:12 The Role of Dopamine in Human Decision Making00:26:18 The Impact of Abandoning Symbolism in Modernity00:29:00 Motivation in Physics and the Pursuit of Glory00:33:26 The Dichotomy between Science and the Human Experience00:39:11 Integrating Jungian Concepts with Biology00:44:58 Discussing Jung's Word Association Test and Complexes00:50:12 Understanding Affect, Emotion, and Archetypes00:57:32 Jung's Methodology and Interpretation of Complexes01:05:12 Approaching Jungian Concepts in Personal Development01:07:33 The Quest for Identity and Self-Reflection01:09:37 Generational Differences in Self-Concept01:16:52 Life Stages and the Search for Meaning01:19:10 The Duality of Growth and Identity01:25:09 The Healing Power of Creativity01:28:31 Creative Participation as a Human Experience01:32:06 Internet's Dual Role in Creativity01:36:23 Understanding Creativity and Instinct01:39:51 Renaissance vs. Revolution in Institutions01:41:53 Engaging with the Unconscious Mind01:46:47 Shifting Perspectives on Artistic Process01:48:52 Discussion on Competing Teams in Science01:52:34 The Tradition and Lineage in Science01:56:12 Creativity and Glory in Scientific Pursuits02:04:36 The Nature of Truth and Scientific Frameworks02:09:43 Cultural Narratives in Science and AI Development02:10:29 Exploration of Myth and Reality02:12:06 Darwin's Legacy and Evolutionary Theory02:16:52 Archetypes and Scientific Paradigms02:19:14 The Role of Mathematics in Physics02:23:39 Understanding the Limits of Rational Inquiry02:27:24 Simulation Theory and Metaphysical Speculation02:32:05 The Interplay of Mathematics and Experience02:33:00 Exploration of Human Psyche and Evolutionary Perspectives02:36:12 Jung's Insights on Individual Calling and Collective Responsibility02:39:01 Invitation to Further Exploration and Collaborative Learning#jungianpsychology, #quantummechanics, #carljung, #archetypes, #depthpsychology, #unconsciousmind, #psychoanalysis, #philosophypodcast , #sciencepodcast, #longformpodcastMERCH: Rock some DemystifySci gear : https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/AMAZON: Do your shopping through this link: https://amzn.to/3YyoT98DONATE: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaDSUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@UCqV4_7i9h1_V7hY48eZZSLw@demystifysci RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rssMAILING LIST: https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySciMUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 161 - Atom Egoyan - Director In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with director Atom Egoyan (SEVEN VEILS, THE SWEET HEREAFTER, EXOTICA) in an extended conversation. Atom was born in Cairo and raised in Canada, and his young love for theatre grew to encompass filmmaking after a hard rejection in college. Throughout our winding conversation, we discuss the creation of many of his films, and Atom asks us a few questions too! Atom's films vary in their visual styles, and he frequently collaborates with cinematographer Paul Sarossy (Season 1, Episode 111), and he reveals how they first met and how they like to work together. Atom also shares why he restructured THE SWEET HEREAFTER in post, and we discuss the power of withholding information from the audience. We also learn why Atom chose to avoid a conventional historical drama when constructing ARARAT, a film about the Armenian Genocide, and we reflect on cinema's ability to communicate the horrors of history. - Recommended Viewing: ARARAT, THE SWEET HEREAFTER - This episode is sponsored by Aputure & Sandstorm

Episode 052: It's almost fall, and that means football. In this episode, Geoff, Russ, and Dave dig into the pigskin with six songs that hit like a linebacker and dance like a wide receiver in the end zone. They blend beats with blitzes with a full lineup including Queen, whose stadium-sized swagger sets the tone for a season of high drama and big plays. The Spencer Davis Group brings the fun from the stands, all pep and groove, while Atom and His Package throws a prophetic flag on the field with a sharp critique of the sport's darker undercurrents. The guys go deep into the world of professional theme songs with the Ying Yang Twins, whose track feels tailor-made for a rowdy dome crowd, and Joan Jett, whose anthem screams prime-time energy. Then AFI takes it further, peeling back the layers of football's cultural weight with a sarcastic and snotty look. Somewhere between the touchdowns and the tackles, they also learn about clotted cream and its mysterious unclotting powers. Come early, be loud, and stay late through this wild ride of music and football, with just enough chaos to make it feel like overtime.   Apple Podcasts Instagram Spotify Playlist MC Paul Barman - Paulejulah - Spotify Official Site Listener Listens - Run the Jewels - Instagram

Węgiel szybko nie zniknie z polskiej energetyki, bo zapewnia nam bezpieczeństwo energetyczne i stabilizację systemu. Transformacja energetyczna znalazła się w kryzysie, głównie dlatego, że być może za mocno była w pewnym momencie napędzana regulacjami zamiast mechanizmami rynkowymi. O obecnej sytuacji w sektorze, rosnących kursach akcji spółek energetycznych, perspektywach dywidend oraz przyszłości miksu energetycznego rozmawiamy z Markiem Lelątko, CFO Grupy Enea.W polskiej debacie publicznej narosło wiele mitów dotyczących energetyki i samej transformacji. W najnowszym odcinku podcastu Procent Składany rozprawiamy się z kilkoma z nich, m.in. z przekonaniem, że węgiel można szybko wyeliminować z polskiego miksu energetycznego.

Ngày 28/08/2025, Anh, Pháp và Đức đã dọa kích hoạt cơ chế tái áp đặt các lệnh trừng phạt của Liên Hiệp Quốc, còn được gọi là « snapback », vào lúc thỏa thuận về hạt nhân Iran ký kết 2015 sắp hết hiệu lực ngày 18/10/2025. Nhưng ít ai biết rằng, trong quá khứ, một số nước phương Tây, đặc biệt là Pháp, đã từng đóng góp tích cực vào việc khai sinh chương trình hạt nhân Iran. Một mảng tối khác trong mối quan hệ căng thẳng giữa Iran và phương Tây. Ngược dòng thời gian, vào năm 1957, vào lúc châu Âu đang vực dậy từ nỗi kinh hoàng của Đệ Nhị Thế Chiến, Iran, dưới sự trị vì của vua Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, đã bắt tay vào việc tìm kiếm năng lượng nguyên tử. Quốc vương Iran lo sợ rằng dầu hỏa mà đất nước phụ thuộc một ngày nào đó sẽ cạn kiệt và do vậy phải tìm kiếm một giải pháp thay thế. Atome For Peace : Đổi hạt nhân lấy dầu lửa Một dự án điện hạt nhân dân sự được hình thành qua sự trợ giúp của chương trình « Atom for Peace – Nguyên tử vì hòa bình », do tổng thống Mỹ Dwight D. Eisenhower khởi xướng từ năm 1953. Cũng như nhiều nước thành viên khác của chương trình, Iran cam kết giới hạn sử dụng hạt nhân cho mục đích hòa bình. Đổi lại, Hoa Kỳ đào tạo các nhà khoa học Iran và cung cấp các trang thiết bị cho Teheran, bao gồm lò phản ứng nghiên cứu được thiết kế vào năm 1967 để sản xuất đồng vị phóng xạ dùng trong y tế. Quan hệ hợp tác tốt đẹp giữa hai nước kéo dài cho đến cuối những năm 1970. Trong một cuộc trả lời phỏng vấn dành cho Viện Nghe nhìn Quốc gia Pháp (INA), vào tháng 12/2022, nhà nghiên cứu Heloise Fayet, chuyên gia về phổ biến hạt nhân Viện Quan hệ Quốc tế Pháp (IFRI) giải thích « trong những năm 1950, dưới thời quốc vương Iran, mối quan hệ giữa Mỹ và Iran rất bền chặt. Hoa Kỳ đã đưa Iran vào chương trình Atom For Peace (Nguyên tử vì hòa bình), được sử dụng để phát triển chương trình hạt nhân dân sự cho Iran, để đổi lấy dầu lửa và sự bảo đảm rằng quốc gia này sẽ duy trì một chế độ ổn định gần gũi với Hoa Kỳ ». Tuy nhiên, vào lúc diễn ra Chiến Tranh Lạnh, Hoa Kỳ ngày càng lo lắng khi thấy xuất hiện nhiều cường quốc hạt nhân khác. Chương trình « Nguyên tử vì hòa bình » có nguy cơ phản tác dụng. Năm 1968, Iran gia nhập Hiệp ước Không phổ biến Hạt nhân TNP và đặt các cơ sở hạt nhân của mình dưới sự giám sát của Cơ quan Năng lượng Nguyên tử Quốc tế (AIEA). Nhưng quốc vương Iran có tham vọng xây thêm 20 lò phản ứng, đồng thời bày tỏ quan tâm đối với một số công nghệ. Điều này đã khiến Mỹ lo ngại, nhất là đối với kỹ thuật tách rời plutonium hoặc làm giầu uranium. Mặc dù mục tiêu nêu ra vẫn mang tính dân sự, Washington nghi ngờ vua Iran âm thầm thèm khát vũ khí nguyên tử. Clément Therme, giáo viên tại Đại học Paul-Valéry tại Montpellier, trong chương trình Giải Mã (19/05/2025) của kênh truyền hình ARTE nhắc lại, « ngay từ tháng 12/1975, Cơ quan Tình báo Mỹ (CIA) đã đánh giá rằng Iran rất có thể sẽ trang bị hệ thống vũ khí hạt nhân vào năm 1985. Vì vậy, ngay từ những năm 1970, đã có những nghi vấn về mục đích dân sự hay quân sự của chương trình Iran ». Pháp, Đức thay chân Mỹ Trước mối ngờ vực từ Mỹ, quốc vương Iran chuyển hướng tìm kiếm các đối tác châu Âu, được đánh giá là « ít quan tâm » đến những vấn đề được nêu trên, theo như nhận định của François Nicoullaud, cựu đại sứ Pháp ở Téhéran, trong bài viết đề tựa « La France et la négociation avec l'Iran » (Pháp và cuộc đàm phán với Iran). Pháp và Tây Đức thời đó đang chạy theo vàng đen của Iran. Cú sốc dầu hỏa năm 1973 biến Teheran thành một đối tác thiết yếu và ưu tiên cho Paris. Trong một bài giải thích, trang RFI tiếng Pháp nhắc lại, ngay từ năm 1974, bộ trưởng Tài Chính lúc bấy giờ là Jean-Pierre Fourcade đã ký kết rất nhiều hợp đồng với Iran để bảo đảm nguồn cung dầu khí cho đất nước. Teheran là nhà cung cấp nhiên liệu thứ hai cho Paris. « Chuyến thăm của Quốc vương tới Marcoule có ý nghĩa quan trọng hơn sau thông báo đặt xây năm nhà máy điện hạt nhân được xác nhận hôm qua và các thỏa thuận liên quan đến việc cung cấp uranium làm giàu cho Iran. » (France 2 ngày 25/06/1974) Trên đây là lời bình của bản tin lúc 20 giờ kênh truyền hình Pháp France 2 ngày 25/06/1974, nhân chuyến thăm của quốc vương Iran đến Pháp và trung tâm khai thác điện hạt nhân ở Marcoule vùng Gard, đông nam Pháp. Được xây dựng vào năm 1956, cơ sở công nghiệp này từng là mũi nhọn cho ngành năng lượng hạt nhân Pháp, cả về sản xuất điện lẫn sử dụng cho mục đích quân sự. Với hợp đồng trị giá gần 5 tỷ đô la – một khoản tiền « khổng lồ » theo như tuyên bố của bộ trưởng Tài Chính Jean-Pierre Fourcade – Pháp thay thế Mỹ trong lĩnh vực hạt nhân bất chấp những ngờ vực của Washington. Paris cam kết đào tạo nhân sự và cung cấp các nhà máy điện hạt nhân cho Teheran như hai lò phản ứng tại Ahvaz miền nam Iran do tập đoàn Framatome của Pháp xây dựng. Nước Đức cũng không kém cạnh. KraftWerk Union, một chi nhánh của tập đoàn năng lượng Siemens, trúng thầu xây dựng hai lò phản ứng hạt nhân ở Bushehr, miền nam Iran, trị giá 7,8 tỷ mác Đức. Chính quyền Berlin còn ký kết một thỏa thuận về hợp tác hạt nhân với vua Iran, tương tự như « hợp đồng thế kỷ », được ký một năm trước đó với Brazil. Cổ đông Eurodif : Tham vọng hạt nhân của vua Iran ? Tuy nhiên, việc các nước đồng minh mới châu Âu có những hứa hẹn tham gia tích cực vào chương trình phát triển hạt nhân Iran càng củng cố hơn nỗi lo lắng từ Mỹ. Không những vua Iran tự cung cấp phương tiện cho các tham vọng của mình và cùng với những thỏa thuận khác nhau, quốc vương Mohammad Reza còn biến nước ông thành một trong những nhà đầu tư chính cho ngành hạt nhân Pháp. Trong khuôn khổ thỏa thuận hợp tác đầu tư Eurodif - European Gaseous Diffusion Uranium Enrichissement Consortium - quốc vương Iran cho Pháp vay một tỷ đô la để xây dựng nhà máy làm giầu chất uranium Tricastin và sở hữu 10% vốn của Eurodif. Đổi lại, Iran bảo đảm lấy đi 10% chất uranium làm giầu do Eurodif sản xuất. Nhìn lại lịch sử, người ta không khỏi đặt nghi vấn về ý định quân sự của vua Iran. Một công nghệ « lưỡng dụng » uranium làm giàu có thể được sử dụng cả cho các nhà máy điện hạt nhân lẫn các đầu đạn được chế tạo theo mô hình Little Boy, từng được sử dụng để san bằng Hiroshima. Trong cuộc chạy đua vũ trang thời Chiến Tranh Lạnh, liệu quốc vương Iran có muốn trang bị vũ khí hạt nhân cho đất nước mình hay không ? Theo báo Pháp Le Monde, ngày 20/07/2025, trong bài viết dài đề tựa « Khi Pháp hứa hẹn uranium làm giầu cho Iran, nguồn cội của một hiệp ước hạt nhân đáng nguyền rủa », Akbar Etemad, chủ tịch Tổ chức Năng lượng Nguyên tử Iran (1974 – 1978) trước ống kính trong một bộ phim tài liệu của France 2 phát sóng ngày 08/10/2017, kể lại ông đã chất vấn Quốc vương như thế nào: « Liệu chúng ta có thể cân nhắc phương án quân sự hay không ? Ông ấy nói với tôi là 'Tại sao không?' Tôi hiểu rằng nhiệm vụ của tôi là phát triển tất cả các công nghệ cần thiết để sẵn sàng triển khai bom hạt nhân ». Vào thời điểm đó, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi khẳng định ông không cần đến bom nguyên tử. Dù không thể chắc chắn, châu Âu đã tin lời ông. Ngoại trưởng Pháp Jean-François Poncet (1978 – 1981), trong một chương trình phim tài liệu của kênh ARTE, khẳng định rằng, « tất cả các biện pháp phòng ngừa luôn được đặt ra để đảm bảo những gì chúng tôi thực hiện về phát triển hạt nhân với Iran sẽ không được sử dụng cho mục đích quân sự. » Cách mạng Hồi giáo 1979 và các cuộc khủng hoảng Pháp - Iran Nhưng cuộc Cách mạng Hồi giáo 1979 bùng nổ, buộc vua Iran phải sống lưu vong, chương trình hạt nhân của ông cũng tan theo. Đại giáo chủ Khomeini lên cầm quyền và chính quyền mới cho ngưng tất cả các hợp đồng xây dựng nhà máy điện hạt nhân, cũng như mua chất uranium. Hai tập đoàn Framatome của Pháp và KWU của Đức chấm dứt công trình và cho hồi hương các nhân viên. Ngoài ra, Teheran còn đòi Paris phải hoàn trả tiền vay, một đòi hỏi mà Pháp đã từ chối khi cho rằng chế độ Iran mới không thực hiện đầy đủ các nghĩa vụ được đặt ra với tư cách là một cổ đông của dự án. Nhưng cử chỉ này của Pháp đã bị nước Cộng hòa Hồi giáo xem như là một hành động đối đầu. Xung đột Iran – Irak nổ ra còn làm cho căng thẳng giữa Teheran và Paris thêm căng thẳng. Trong nhiều năm sau đó, Iran tiến hành một loạt hoạt động chống Pháp như bắt cóc và giam giữ các nhà báo và nhà ngoại giao Pháp tại Liban trong những điều kiện tệ hại. Iran đòi Pháp phải hoàn trả số nợ vay cũng như ngưng cung cấp vũ khí cho chế độ Saddam Hussein. Pháp trở thành mục tiêu tấn công của Iran. Nhiều vụ tấn công khủng bố đã xảy ra tại Pháp trong thập niên 1980 mà Iran bị cáo buộc là chủ mưu. Năm 1988, sau nhiều năm bị giam cầm ở Liban, các con tin Pháp được thả. Phần lớn khoản nợ vay của Eurodif cuối cùng đã được trả cho Iran như là tiền chuộc. Về mặt chính thức,tranh chấp đã được giải quyết xong ba năm sau đó, vào năm 1991, sau khi Pháp đổ thêm một tỷ đô la cho Cộng hòa Hồi giáo Iran. Chỉ vừa mới được bình thường hóa, quan hệ giữa Iran và phương Tây một lần nữa trở nên căng thẳng. Vào đầu những năm 2000, qua sự tố giác của một nhóm người Iran phản đối chế độ, Cơ quan Năng lượng Nguyên tử Quốc tế AIEA phát hiện nhiều cơ sở hạt nhân bí mật của Iran, đặc biệt là các cơ sở ở Natanz và Arak, miền trung đất nước. Một chương căng thẳng mới lại bắt đầu và kéo dài đến tận ngày nay. Các cuộc đàm phán rơi vào bế tắc kể từ khi tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump trong nhiệm kỳ I rút Hoa Kỳ ra khỏi Thỏa thuận hạt nhân Vienna 2015. RFI Tiếng Việt sẽ tiếp tục trình bày chủ đề này trong một dịp khác. Tóm lại, như thừa nhận của ông Javad Vaeedi, nhà đàm phán Iran giai đoạn 2005-2009, với kênh truyền hình ARTE, « chương trình hạt nhân Iran đã được hình thành nhờ vào sự hợp tác với Mỹ, rồi Pháp cả trong khuôn khổ trao đổi sinh viên và cả trong việc hình thành các cơ sở hạ tầng có liên quan đến chương trình hạt nhân Iran ».

Diesmal mit Verena Kern und Jonas Waack. Die Union, allen voran der bayerische Ministerpräsident Markus Söder von der CSU, rüttelt derzeit kräftig am Verbrenner-Aus. Also an der EU-Regel, dass ab 2035 keine neuen Autos mehr zugelassen werden dürfen, die Treibhausgase ausstoßen. Ob ein Aus vom Aus den deutschen Autokonzernen wirklich aus der Krise hilft, ist zweifelhaft Bei ungebremster Erderhitzung könnten die Bestände des Phytoplanktons Prochlorococcus um bis zu 51 Prozent schrumpfen, so eine Studie, die nun in der Fachzeitschrift Nature Microbiology erschienen ist. Prochlorococcus ist das kleinste Lebewesen, das Photosynthese betreibt, und gleichzeitig das zahlenmäßig häufigste. Für das marine Nahrungsnetz ist das von großer Bedeutung, denn sämtliche Organismen bis hin zu Fischen und Meeressäugern sind davon abhängig, dass Kleinstlebewesen wie Prochlorococcus Biomasse erzeugen. Seit fünf Jahren soll die EU-Taxonomie Kapital in klimafreundliche Wirtschaftsaktivitäten lenken. Doch 2022 stufte Brüssel auch Investitionen in Atom- und Gaskraftwerke als nachhaltig ein. Dagegen klagte Österreich vor dem Gericht der Europäischen Union - und ist damit nun gescheitert. Laut Urteil hat die Kommission ihre Befugnisse nicht überschritten. Sogenannte "Übergangstechnologien" können demnach als nachhaltig definiert werden. -- Das klima update° wird jede Woche von Spender:innen unterstützt.

On this week's edition of Le Show, Harry brings us regular features like News of the Atom, News of the Warm, News of Crypto-Winter, News of Musk Love, Truth Social Audio with Donald Trump, News of A.I., The Apologies of the Week, The Side Effects of the Week, News of the Godly, News of Microplastics, great music and more.

Today's edition starts off with a greeting from Thistle, our resident singer/songwriter and founder of WLRN before diving into our world news segment with Cat Bradfield. After the news, hear Ani DiFranco's song, Atom, in its entirety to get an idea of the enormity of the problem and its root in male dominion and madness. Next, stay tuned for an interview Thistle did with Professor Cynthia Enloe of Clark University about the global nature of the nuclear problem and the different responses, actions and solutions of governments and peace activists. Cynthia emphasizes the work of ICAN, the International Campaign to End Nuclear Weapons https://www.icanw.org/and the book Banning the Bomb, Smashing the Patriarchy by Ray Acheson. Then, hear riveting commentary delivered by aurora linnea in which she discusses the phallic nature of the Bomb and the absurdity that all of human history, culture and life could end in a moment of males punching in codes to blast off large penis-shaped bombs. Aurora explores the anit-nuclear movement led by feminists in the 1980s to show how women organized in the past and could do it again. She highlights the work of Dr. Helen Caldicott, among other inspirational anti-nukes feminists. Finally, dive into the song Jezebel that Thistle wrote and recorded over 20 years ago about women's simultaneous bondage and resistance to the patriarchal nuclear age. The cover art this month was created by Margaret who brings us this artist's statement: "To create the image for Edition 113, The Nuclear Threat, I used a photo of the ‘Fat Man', the 21 kiloton implosion-type plutonium bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki, along with an image of a woman with atomic bomb injuries, an image of Nagasaki after the explosion, and an atomic bomb plume. I added red colors to the Nagasaki image, and magenta to the bomb plume. We see the woman from the back - over laid with blues and purples - and with the ruins of Nagasaki bleeding through her body. She is facing the destruction, the effects, but we can't see her expression. The Fat Man bomb sits nestled next to the woman, taking up space, like the space that the nuclear war threat occupies in our society and our sensibilities." Thanks for staying tuned to feminist-powered community radio, WLRN.

This time we're joined by the legendary Atom Willard, drummer for Alkaline Trio, ahead of the band's appearance at Four Chord Music Festival.

Atoms are unfathomably tiny. It takes fifteen million trillion of them to make up a single poppy seed—give or take a few billion. And there's hardly anything to them: atoms are more than 99.9999999999 percent empty space. Yet scientists have learned to count these slivers of near nothingness with precision and to peer into their internal states. In looking so closely, we have learned that atoms, because of their inimitable signatures and imperturbable internal clocks, are little archives holding the secrets of the past.David J. Helfand reconstructs the history of the universe—back to its first microsecond 13.8 billion years ago—with the help of atoms. He shows how, by using detectors and reactors, microscopes and telescopes, we can decode the tales these infinitesimal particles tell, answering questions such as: Is a medieval illustrated prayer book real or forged? How did maize cultivation spread from the highlands of central Mexico to New England? What was Earth's climate like before humans emerged? Where can we find clues to identify the culprit in the demise of the dinosaurs? When did our planet and solar system form? Can we trace the births of atoms in the cores of massive stars or even glimpse the origins of the universe itself?A lively and inviting introduction to the building blocks of everything we know, The Universal Timekeepers demonstrates the power of science to unveil the mysteries of unreachably remote times and places.

This week, Mark Nelson joins us to deliver his second annual “State of the Atom” address. The nuclear power landscape has transformed in the last two years. Russia continues its nuclear export dominance while the West at last awakens from its stupor, driven by an unexpected force: artificial intelligence's insatiable appetite for baseload power. From Amazon's billion-dollar Susquehanna deal to Three Mile Island's resurrection, Big Tech is discovering what nuclear advocates have long known: that when you need reliable electricity around the clock, few other generation sources compare. Nelson maps the new nuclear battlefield where Chinese reactors scale up to 1,700 megawatts, European phase-outs crumble, and Western teams scramble to assemble the talent and capital needed to compete.Read more on Substack.

In this episode of The New Quantum Era, host Sebastian Hassinger sits down with Dr. Mark Saffman, a leading expert in atomic physics and quantum information science. As a professor at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and Chief Scientist at Infleqtion (formerly ColdQuanta), Mark is at the forefront of developing neutral atom quantum computing platforms using Rydberg atom arrays. The conversation explores the past, present, and future of neutral atom quantum computing, its scalability, technological challenges, and opportunities for hybrid quantum systems.Key TopicsEvolution of Neutral Atom Quantum ComputingThe history and development of Rydberg atom arrays, key technological breakthroughs, and the trajectory from early experiments to today's platforms capable of large-scale qubit arrays.Gate Fidelity and ScalabilityAdvances in gate fidelity, challenges in reducing laser noise, and the inherent scalability advantages of the neutral atom platform.Error Correction and Logical QubitsDiscussion of error detection/correction, logical qubit implementation, code distances, and the engineering required for repeated error correction in neutral atom systems.Synergy Between Academia and IndustryThe interplay between curiosity-driven university research and focused engineering efforts at Infleqtion, including the collaborative benefits of cross-pollination.Hybrid Quantum Systems and Future DirectionsPotential for integrating different modalities, including hybrid systems, quantum communication, and quantum sensors, as well as modularity in scaling quantum processors.Key InsightsNeutral atom arrays have achieved remarkable scalability, with demonstrations of arrays containing thousands of atomic qubits—well-positioned for large-scale quantum computing compared to other modalities.Advancements in laser technology and gate protocols have been crucial for improving gate fidelities, moving from early diode lasers to more stabilized, lower noise systems.Engineering challenges remain, such as atom loss, measurement speed, and the need for technologies enabling fast, high-degree-of-freedom optical reconfiguration.Logical qubit implementation is advancing, but practical, repeated rounds of error correction and syndrome measurement are required for fault-tolerant computing.Collaboration between university and industry labs accelerates both foundational understanding and the translation of discoveries into real-world devices.Notable Quotes“One of the exciting things about the Neutral Atom platform is that this is perhaps the most scalable platform that exists.”“Atoms make fantastic qubits — they're nature's qubits, all identical, excellent coherence… but they do have some sort of annoying features. They don't stick around forever. We have atom loss.”“Our wiring is not electronic printed circuits, it's laser beams propagating in space… That's great because it's reconfigurable in real time.”About the GuestMark Saffman is a Professor of Physics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and the Chief Scientist at Infleqtion, a company leading the commercial development of quantum technology platforms using neutral atoms. Mark is recognized for his pioneering work on Rydberg atom arrays, quantum logic gates, and advancing scalable quantum processors.
