Fusion reactors will use abundant sources of fuel, will not leak radiation above normal background levels, and will produce less radioactive waste than current fission reactors. Learn about this promising power source.
Nuclear fusion is cited as a safe, clean and sustainable energy we all need, but alas to make this technology commercial has been quite a headache. Development has been slow - Iter nuclear fusion project started in 1985 is still only in it's infancy with an experimental plant that is only just being built…
Fusion reactors for ships. Founded in 2024 by Justin Cohen and Jason Kaufmann, Maritime Fusion has 4 employees based in San Francisco, CA, USA.
Efforts to produce a working nuclear fusion reactor have led one scientist to create a formula to make them more cost-effective to build.
The inside of future nuclear fusion energy reactors will be among the harshest environments ever produced on Earth. What's strong enough to protect the inside of a fusion reactor from plasma-produced heat fluxes akin to space shuttles reentering Earth's atmosphere?
New code called XGC-S is opening ‘a big window’ for nuclear fusion reactor research by helping train simulators.
The old joke about fusion is that it is 30 years from becoming a reality — and that’s been the case for the last 50 years or more. It’s a...
Scientists in China achieved a major breakthrough that could help unlock nearly unlimited clean energy via fusion.
The Science Tokamak devices use strong magnetic fields to confine and shape the plasma that contains the fuel that achieves fusion. The shape of the plasma affects the ease or difficulty of achieving a viable fusion power source. In a conventional tokamak, the cross-section of the plasma is shaped
A startup called LPP Fusion has prompted the creation of the Dense Plasma Focus (DPF) device, for magnetic confinement of hot plasma for nuclear fusion.
Sakaar arena early pre-production concept. We imagined the arena being pretty massive at the time.
Physicists propose a marriage of fusion and fission reactors that could save both technologies
We have plenty of nuclear fission reactors, but not a successful fusion reactor. What's the difference?
Physicists are pursuing novel approaches that can achieve nuclear fusion using compact laser-driven fusion reactors. In this article, AZoNano covers how nanoparticles could help to improve nuclear fusion.
Boron powder could turn nuclear fusion dreams into reality. Tokamak reactors are a major frontier in fusion research, but they're also volatile—and dangerous.
The observation of self-heating in magnetically confined plasmas represents a milestone on the road to fusion reactors based on such plasmas.
We will have to wait until the second half of the century for fusion reactors to start generating electricity, experts have announced.
The Farnsworth Fusor; Pons and Fleishmann. It seems the trail to fusion energy has long gone cold — stone cold, that is, and not cold as in cold fusion. Despite the promise of fusion providing a sustainable and safe energy source, fusion reactors are not a dime a dozen and they won’t be replacing coal … Continue reading "Mr. Fusion? Compact Fusion Reactor Will be Available in 5 Years Says Lockheed-Martin"
