While coal was predominant in the past for energy generation, plants are shutting down worldwide to improve air quality and because they aren’t cost-competitive. It’s possible that idle infrastructure could …read more Continue reading You Got Fusion in My Coal Plant!
Japan’s JT-60SA fusion reactor project announced first plasma in October of this year to denote the successful upgrades to what is now the world’s largest operational, superconducting tokamak fusion reactor. …read more Continue reading Japan’s JT-60SA Generates First Plasma As World’s Largest Superconducting Tokamak Fusion Reactor
It may be midwinter in Perth, but people still go to the beach there, which led to the surprising discovery earlier this week of what appears to be a large …read more Continue reading Hackaday Links: July 23, 2023
Will it or won’t it? That’s the question much on the minds of astronomers, astrophysicists, and the astro-adjacent this week as Betelgeuse continued its pattern of mysterious behavior that might …read more Continue reading Hackaday Links: June 18, 2023
Scientists are exploring nuclear fusion technology through various experimental devices, and a popular design for this pursuit of clean, practically inexhaustible energy is known as the tokamak. An exciting example of these donut-shaped reactors can be… Continue reading KSTAR fusion reactor sets record with 30-second plasma confinement
Washington startup Helion Energy says its seventh-gen Polaris prototype will be the world’s first fusion generator to demonstrate net electricity production, as early as 2024, and it’s roped in a record-breaking funding round to get it built and runnin… Continue reading Helion raises billions promising net electricity from fusion by 2024
The US Naval Research Laboratory (AFL) is developing an Argon Fluoride (ArF) laser that may one day make fusion power a practical commercial technology. The wide-bandwidth ultraviolet laser is designed to have the shortest laser wavelength that can sca… Continue reading Argon fluoride laser could lead to practical fusion reactors
Whenever anyone mentions the word “antibodies” these days, it’s sure to grab your attention. Thoughts generally flow to the human immune system and the role it plays in the ongoing …read more Continue reading Monoclonal Antibodies: The Guided Missiles of Medicine
Scientists working with superconducting magnets have made a breakthrough that paves the way for carbon-free power. Continue reading MIT Scientists Report ‘Major Advance’ In Fusion Energy
In the field of nuclear fusion some are going big with their pursuit of clean, inexhaustible energy, like those piecing together the seven-story building to house ITER, the world’s largest tokamak reactor. Others, meanwhile, are working on more compact… Continue reading World’s strongest fusion magnet brings new power to nuclear pursuit
