When we talk about the future of nuclear, we usually mean fission, or fusion. But the nuclear industry just took a big step forward in another arena-- radioisotope power systems. @zeno_power, a nuclear startup, has demonstrated a radioisotope heat source at @PNNLab!

We humans, as we know ourselves to be, will not conquer the challenges of becoming a multi-planetary or solar system species. But, the next hominids will, if we continue our quest to explore space. What we currently have in front of us now, should we choose to utilize it in the correct way, are technologies that blaze a trail forward for all humanity. As AI evolves, it's an inevitability that it's becomes part of our everyday life ... if it isn't already. Next steps? A merging of humanity and technium into one. In this month's article, I discuss the immediate future of transhumanism as I see it and the benefits of embracing such a monumental (r)evolution. Let's give a warm welcome to homo machina.
