In 1945 voerden de Verenigde Staten in Japan twee aanvallen met een kernbom uit.
Op 6 augustus werd de bom “Little Boy” boven de Japanse havenstad Hiroshima tot ontploffing gebracht. Drie dagen later werd een tweede bombardement uitgevoerd, nu met de bom “Fat Man” boven de stad Nagasaki. Drie dagen later besloot de hoogste Japanse leider, keizer Hirohito, tot de onvoorwaardelij

Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs) lack territorial access to the sea, leaving them dependent on transit neighbors for a route to world markets.
This geographic disadvantage drives up transport costs, introduces avoidable delays, and exposes LLDCs to any political or economic instability along those corridors. The results are stark: Average transport costs are more than twice those of neighboring coastal states. Export opportunities shrink, foreign direct investment falls, and economic growth slows. When a transit country is itself a developing economy—often the case—intraregional trade remains modest. We are at a pivotal moment for the 32 LLDCs across Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America. Home to over 600 million people, LLDCs face steep development hurdles due to lack of sea access, geographical isolation, and trade costs that are 30% higher than those of coastal countries. To spotlight these challenges, the UN General Assembly has adopted a resolution proclaiming August 6 as the International Day of Awareness of the Special Development Needs and Challenges of Landlocked Developing Countries. The first celebration of this Day will take place during the Third Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries in 2025.

NSF Inouye Solar Telescope Enables Major Discovery of a Hidden Solar Process.
Scientists using the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope published the artice ‘Ubiquitous Kelvin–Helmholtz instabilities driving plasma mixing on the Sun‘ about a major breakthrough in solar physics, discovering Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability on the surface of the Sun — a finding that could help explain explosive solar activity and other solar phenomena. Using the world’s most powerful solar telescope, the NSF Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope near the summit of Maui’s Haleakalā, combined with computer simulations, an international team of scientists from the NSO, NSF NCAR High Altitude Observatory (HAO), and the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) found the signature of Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI), tiny swirling patterns like small whirlpools, on the Sun’s surface. Researchers suggest that KHI might be a key reason why the Sun’s outer atmosphere gets so hot, and why magnetic energy builds up and moves around on the Sun. Magnetic energy fuels solar flares and eruptions—the kind of solar activity that can send bursts of energy toward Earth and affect satellites, power grids, and other technology. The discovery opens a new window into the fundamental physics of the Sun and other stars while underscoring the unmatched capabilities of the Inouye Solar Telescope.
