Fusion is among the most environmentally friendly sources of energy. There are no CO 2 or other harmful atmospheric emissions from the fusion process, which means that fusion does not contribute to ...
Tungsten alloys, specifically, provide "grain boundaries [that] serve as sinks for radiation defects," per Nature. Meanwhile, ...
An international milestone in energy research has been achieved with the successful sustaining of a fusion reaction for 100 seconds in an “artificial sun” experiment. This breakthrough represents a ...
The carbon fusion reaction, in which two 12C nuclei combine under extreme stellar conditions, is of paramount importance in astrophysics. This process not only dictates the evolution of massive stars ...
The first fusion reactions in a laboratory were achieved in 1934 — a major breakthrough at the time. Today, however, achieving a fusion reaction is not particularly difficult: in 2018, a ...
Scientists are embracing imperfection, using less-than-ideal magnetic fields to make the plasma more manageable. In the Japanese art of Kintsugi, an artist takes the broken shards of a bowl and fuses ...
UK engineers at Tokamak Energy have reached a groundbreaking milestone in fusion research by successfully controlling fusion ...
Google has invested in fusion startups as potential power suppliers. This latest move suggests Google sees them as potential ...
