- Nuclear (Con)fusion: Why the Gee-Whizz Factor Costs so Much Fri, 28 Jul 23, 3:00amBy Macskelek - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, Like all gee-whiz moonbeams-to-cucumbers notions, this granddaddy of them all is irremediably failing, at prodigious cost to us all.
- Fusion works, but uses a supernova budget to make a mini sun for a fraction of a second Thu, 15 Dec 22, 7:15amBy Jo Nova Fusion reactors will one day be the ultimate in “free energy”, but judging by the latest news of holy grail moments, it won’t be soon...
- An exploration of the future of fusion power plant Wed, 2 Nov 22, 2:30amCRA-Carlo Ratti Associati and Italo Rota created a new project with energy company Eni to explore how the future of fusion power plants will look. It's called magnetic confinement fusion, and it's one of the best possible...
- South Korea Fusion Breakthrough: 20s 100 Million Degree Fusion Plasma With No Instability Sat, 10 Sep 22, 7:00amSouth Korean Nuclear Fusion researchers have claimed to have sustained a stable confined burning plasma at fusion temperatures for 20 seconds, producing 100Kj of fusion energy.
- Scientists edge closer to solving the fusion energy puzzle Fri, 11 Feb 22, 7:30amA recent test by researchers at the Joint European Torus (JET) has advanced the possibilities for fusion energy. In their latest experiment, the scientists set a new record for the amount of energy released in a sustained...
