Cooling 100 million degree plasma with a hydrogen-neon mixture ice pellet
At ITER—the world's largest experimental fusion reactor, currently under construction in France through international cooperation—the abrupt termination of magnetic confinement of a high temperature plasma through a so-called "disruption" poses a.....»»
International fusion energy project faces delays, says chief
An international project in nuclear fusion may face "years" of delays, its boss has told AFP, weeks after scientists in the United States announced a breakthrough in their own quest for the coveted goal......»»
Giant laser from "Star Trek" to be tested in fusion breakthrough
The breakthrough came in an impossibly small slice of time, less than it takes a beam of light to move an inch. In that tiny moment, nuclear fusion as an energy source went from far-away dream to reality. The world is now grappling with the implicati.....»»
