    Lockheed Martin says it’s made a big advance in nuclear fusion
    This week, Lockheed Martin joined a long line of companies claiming to be hot on the trail of nuclear fusion, the long-promised saviour of our energy economy.

    Tesla’s autopilot isn’t special (but it’s still cool)
    “We’ve been able to accelerate autopilot and bring it to market faster than originally anticipated,” Elon Musk said to a gathered throng at Hawthorne Airport last week, the ex-Northrop facility in Southern California that both Tesla and sister company SpaceX call home. “It’s actually in production.
