If Sir Isaac Newton’s wildest dream is finally coming true, we could be on the brink of a new type of gold rush.
To make fusion reactors, we need materials that can withstand its punishing environment, and a new Chinese-made material can ...
Bombarding steel samples. To address this, researchers have been developing a type of reduced activation ferritic/martensitic ...
The alchemist's dream is to make gold from common metals, but can this be done? The physics needed to explain how to change ...
With the addition of a new method for firing hydrogen into the stellarator reactor, the design set a new record for ...
A new class of advanced steels needs more fine-tuning before use in system components for fusion energy—a more sustainable ...
The Wendelstein 7-X stellarator in Germany set a record with 43 seconds of plasma, marking a major step toward clean, ...
In addition, FRC allows a reactor to run on proton-boron aneutronic fusion. That is, a fusion reaction that fuses a hydrogen nucleus and a boron-11 atom instead of two atoms of the hydrogen ...
The world’s largest and most powerful superconducting electromagnet is ready to become the pulsing “heart” inside of a massive tokamak nuclear fusion reactor. Developed over 40 years in ...
Although General Fusion’s piston-based fusion reactor has people mostly very confused, MTF is based on real physics and with GF’s current LM26 prototype having recently achieved first plasma ...
A 1-gigawatt fusion reactor is expected to burn 56 kilograms of tritium annually. But the world has only about 25 kilograms of tritium commercially available.
