Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories Director Dr. Kim Budil speaks during a news conference with fellow administrators and scientists at the Department of Energy headquarters to announce a ...
In a new milestone for fusion energy research, physicists in China say they have exceeded the plasma-density limit.
The field of nuclear fusion has seen some exciting advances of late, with scientists demonstrating how fuels can be heated to the temperatures needed for the necessary reactions to take place. All are ...
Nuclear fusion has been a sort of holy grail for energy researchers for decades. It offers promises and tremendous energy density and efficiency, if ever harnessed. To paraphrase Doc Ock in Spiderman, ...
For more than 60 years, scientists have sought to understand and control the process of fusion, a quest to harness the vast amounts of energy released when nuclei in fuel come together. A paper ...
China’s latest fusion experiment did more than nudge a world record, it crossed a line many physicists quietly suspected ...
Researchers working on China's fully superconducting Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) have experimentally accessed a theorized "density-free regime" for fusion plasmas, achieving ...
The colliding planar shock (CPS) platform should deliver precise measurements of the characteristics of warm dense matter (WDM), a state of matter exhibiting properties of both solids and plasmas.
Recent reports from scientists pursuing a new kind of nuclear fusion technology are encouraging, but we are still some distance away from the “holy grail of clean energy”. The technology developed by ...
