The Department of Energy (DOE) hailed a key fusion energy milestone, describing how scientists were able to create more energy from a reaction than was consumed for the first time.Continue Reading
California’s government-funded Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory claim to have made a significant advance in the long-delayed pursuit of viable fusion energy. According to those participating in the research, the teamContinue Reading
Zap Energy is developing a low-cost, compact, and scalable fusion energy technology capable of confining and compressing plasma without the use of costly and sophisticated magnetic coils. The sheared-flow-stabilized Z-pinchContinue Reading
First Light, a UK-based firm, claims to have made a “breakthrough” in fusion energy by shooting a projectile at four miles per second into a fuel target to release energyContinue Reading
There are two ways to generate electricity from nuclear power. The first is nuclear fission, which is the primary source of power in the world today, accounting for around 10%Continue Reading
Fusion energy — to many, the holy grail of sustainable energy — is on the edge of its next breakthrough. Using a powerful laser at the National Ignition Facility (NIF)Continue Reading
Engineers are shipping the world’s most powerful magnet to the construction site of the world’s largest experimental fusion reactor called ITER in France. The magnet will be constructed from sixContinue Reading
British engineers are preparing to test the fuel mix that could one day power the largest nuclear fusion experiment in the world. Researchers at the Joint European Torus (JET), aContinue Reading
