Die Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) hat diese Woche die Verwendung von Kondomen als Mittel zum Schutz vor einer Affenpockeninfektion empfohlen.

The “artificial sun” is one of many around the world that are the culmination of decades of research into the technology, which essentially fuses atomic nuclei found in stars to produce vast amounts of energy that can be converted into electricity....
