Working with two magnetic fields and a laser, all at low points of their power outputs, Sandia’s Z machine has released neutrons in an amount surprisingly close to ‘break-even... Read more
Unfortunately, it is very difficult to get a fusion reaction going. Inspired by the space physics behind solar flares and the aurora, a team of researchers from the University of Michigan an... Read more
One more major step towards the dream of nuclear fusion power. A researcher at the Universidad politécnica de Madrid (UPM) has patented a nuclear fusion reactor by inertial confinement that,... Read more
Fusion break-even In the beginning, there was the thermonuclear bomb – mankind had harnessed the energy of the Sun. Confident predictions abounded that fusion reactors would be providi... Read more
“The century’s biggest and most difficult scientific undertaking,” While laser fusion has been touted as the Holy Grail of sustainable energy, set to free the world from the en... Read more
