Japanese Power Plant Turns Saltwater Into Electricity—and It’s a Glimpse Into the Future

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-11-01 00:05:02

Scientists believe saltwater could become a reliable source of renewable energy through a process known as osmosis. Japan has now taken a major step in that direction. Earlier this month, Japan officially launched its first osmotic power plant in Fukuoka, a large city to the west of Tokyo. That makes Japan the second country in the world to bet on osmotic power, after Denmark. Fukuoka’s plant is expected to generate about 880,000 kilowatt hours of electricity each year, enough to supply approxi

Every part of a fusion reactor is designed for maximum efficiency. Well, in theory, at least. In reality, the materials chosen to bring us closer to fusion don’t always perform as expected, leading to structural glitches that obstruct fusion reactions.

The unlikely revival of nuclear batteries

In 1970, surgeons in Paris implanted the first nuclear-powered pacemaker, and over the next five years, at least 1,400 additional people received the devices, mostly in France and the United States. Encased in titanium, the batteries for these devices contained a radioactive isotope—typically about a tenth of a gram of plutonium-238—and could operate for decades without maintenance.
