2021 Electricity Radiation Technology 
Physics World
AUGUST 4, 2021
An international team of physicists has created what might seem like a contradiction in terms: a non-radiating source of electromagnetism. Maxwell’s equations tell us that accelerating charges radiate energy in the form of electromagnetic waves. Electric moments without any poles.

Alongside ongoing efforts to help detect , analyse and prevent the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, 2021 has seen also the introduction of novel cancer treatments, advances in diagnostic imaging technology and innovative new biomedical devices. Here are just a few of the research highlights that caught my eye this year.

terawatt hours of electricity annually, which is enough to power 300 000 UK homes for a year. “Science has a key role to play, and in particular at big-science facilities, where we are constantly pushing forwards the frontiers of knowledge and technology to the highest levels of excellence and inventiveness,” the statement notes.

This is due in no small part to the “ nuclear bros ”: an active and seemingly tireless group of nuclear power advocates who dominate social media discussions on energy by promoting SMRs and other “advanced” nuclear technologies as the only real solution for the climate crisis. What are SMRs?

Indeed, it is understandable why people might fear radiation given that you can’t see it – yet the same can be said of the air that we breathe. Indeed, nuclear allows the opportunity to decarbonize all energy, not just electricity.

At RePlanet Nederland, we are delighted that the European Commission has proposed, on December 31, 2021, to include nuclear energy in the sustainable finance taxonomy. We believe we must take a science-based approach and prioritize policies and technologies that enable us to liberate nature and elevate humanity.
