Energy-positive laser fusion approach heads toward commercialization

With the promise of unlimited energy, Xcimer has raised over US$100 million from investors and the US Department of Energy to develop a high-energy laser system that’s intended for use in a practical fusion power plant.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy,… Continue reading Energy-positive laser fusion approach heads toward commercialization

Historic fusion ignition in a lab experiment confirmed

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has published an extensive paper confirming the validity of its 2022 fusion experiment where multiple lasers focused on a sphere of deuterium and tritium to achieve the first fusion ignition in a laboratory.Contin… Continue reading Historic fusion ignition in a lab experiment confirmed

3D printing resin produces single items that are both soft and rigid

Although an increasing number of devices are being developed for use on or in our bodies, such devices tend not to be very … “body-like.” A new 3D printing resin could change that, by allowing for variable stiffness throughout single objects.Continue R… Continue reading 3D printing resin produces single items that are both soft and rigid

Nuclear fusion milestone creates “burning plasma” for the first time

For the prospect of limitless, clean energy produced through nuclear fusion to become a reality, scientists need the reactions at the heart of the technology to become self-sustaining, and newly published research has edged them closer to that goal. Sc… Continue reading Nuclear fusion milestone creates “burning plasma” for the first time

High-powered laser closes in on nuclear fusion ignition

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 working towards a version of the technology where t… Continue reading High-powered laser closes in on nuclear fusion ignition

Scientists recreate Jupiter’s possible helium rain in the lab

Scientists have recreated in the lab some of the wild weather that might be found on Jupiter and Saturn. Using extremely high pressures and laser shock waves, the researchers produced “helium rain” which has been hypothesized to fall on these planets.C… Continue reading Scientists recreate Jupiter’s possible helium rain in the lab

Isotopes suggest solar system formed in under 200,000 years

Based on isotope analysis of meteorites, a team of scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has determined that about 4.5 billion years ago, our solar system may have formed in less than 200,000 years.Continue ReadingCategory: Sp… Continue reading Isotopes suggest solar system formed in under 200,000 years
