Imagine a world where energy is limitless, clean, and safe—without the environmental toll of fossil fuels or the risks of ...
This article provides an overview of laser‐induced nuclear fusion, an emerging field that employs ultra‐intense laser pulses to facilitate and enhance nuclear fusion reactions. By leveraging the ...
Fusion energy has the potential to be an effective clean energy source, as its reactions generate incredibly large amounts of energy. Fusion reactors aim to reproduce on Earth what happens in the core ...
In August 2023, U.S. Department of Energy scientists successfully replicated a historic nuclear fusion reaction, seemingly confirming the net energy gain in a fusion experiment first reported in 2022 ...
Oxford-based First Light Fusion is planning to take forward its innovative “projectile fusion” technology with a potential funding deal in the pipeline, as per reports. Unlike traditional nuclear ...
Nuclear fusion topped headlines around the world last month when scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California announced an essential milestone in developing this nascent ...
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently recognized Stephen T. Lam, an assistant professor of chemical engineering, with an Early Career Research Program award worth $876,564. The award, to be ...
A decades-old scientific controversy and a small bench-top apparatus at the University of British Columbia (UBC) could be the key to more efficient fusion reactors by increasing the chances of a ...
A critical shortage of fuel for nuclear fusion reactors may have a rather counterintuitive solution. A physicist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) says that fusion reactor fuel could be ...
Experiments in the lab of Professor Farhat Beg at UC San Diego. Professor Beg is co-leading one of two teams of UC ...
