New research from the University of Rochester will enhance the accuracy of computer models used in simulations of laser-driven implosions. The research, published in the journal Nature Physi... Read more
Machine learning (ML), a form of artificial intelligence that recognizes faces, understands language and navigates self-driving cars, can help bring to Earth the clean fusion energy that lig... Read more
Can tokamak fusion facilities, the most widely used devices for harvesting on Earth the fusion reactions that power the sun and stars, be developed more quickly to produce safe, clean, and v... Read more
Fusion is the process that powers the sun, harnessing it on Earth would provide unlimited clean energy. However, researchers say that constructing a fusion power plant has proven to be a dau... Read more
In a doughnut-shaped chamber in eastern China, scientists have been able to produce hydrogen gas more than three times hotter than the core of the Sun using nuclear fusion – and mainta... Read more
Lasers could heat materials to temperatures hotter than the centre of the Sun in only 20 quadrillionths of a second, according to new research. Theoretical physicists from Imperial College L... Read more
Fusion energy almost sounds too good to be true – zero greenhouse gas emissions, no long-lived radioactive waste, a nearly unlimited fuel supply Perhaps the biggest roadblock to adopting fus... Read more
Not Quite Yet, but in the Journal “Physics of Plasmas,” Researchers from National Ignition Facility Show Just How Close We’ve Come The dream of igniting a self-sustained fu... Read more
The study of the lithium coatings also impacts many areas beyond magnetic fusion, including nanoelectronics, lithium batteries, computational materials science, bioengineering and biophysics... Read more
Results show the plasma is stable and the method is energy-efficient Researchers around the world are working on an efficient, reliable way to contain the plasma used in fusion reactors, pot... Read more
Venture capitalists and funding agencies aim to get some bang for their alternative fusion bucks, but a lot of unknowns remain When it comes to radical energy solutions, an extreme long shot... Read more
