The US and Europe were the dominant public funders of fusion energy research and are home to many of the world’s pioneering private fusion efforts.

This $10 accessory was the best thing I ever bought for my Galaxy Watch

Andy Walker / Android Authority I’ve only bought a handful of items under $10 that have genuinely changed my life — an incredible Basque cheesecake I snuffed down a few months ago comes to mind — but few are tech-related. I’ve written about the cheap Android Auto dongle that has made my car so much smarter, but it was pushing $25. However, I use another product daily that costs far less than that, and even less than a good brunch. Consumers don’t spend nearly enough time pairing their smartwat
