US-based nuclear fusion firm Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) has collaborated with Google’s DeepMind division ...
Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time inside the sun. But to recreate the process on Earth, we must control ...
In this week’s edition of The Prototype, we look at stealthily building humanoid robots, a way to triple wheat production and ...
A student’s small bedroom has become a hotspot for nuclear fusion experiments. With no fancy lab or deep-pocketed sponsors, the work is entirely driven by curiosity and grit. Hudhayfa Nazoordeen, a ...
China has begun installing the BEST fusion reactor in Hefei, aiming to achieve net fusion power within two years.
In an experiment, prepared metal held up against corrosive coolants used in fusion reactors. These coolants are used because they can help to generate more of the fuel that reactors need. Dispersing ...
A critical shortage of fuel for nuclear fusion reactors may have a rather counterintuitive solution. A physicist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) says that fusion reactor fuel could be ...
Researchers developed a neural state-space model to predict plasma dynamics, optimizing rampdown trajectories and enhancing ...
Seeking to improve the tokamak fusion reactor known as ITER, researchers have found a way to stop rogue tungsten atoms from shearing off the walls and messing with the plasma. The finding is another ...
General Fusion announced on Tuesday that it had successfully created plasma, a superheated fourth state of matter required for fusion, inside a prototype reactor. The milestone marks the beginning of ...
Energy startup Marathon Fusion claims to have found a scalable way to turn mercury into gold, but they still have much to prove. reading time 2 minutes Keep checking those gold prices—scientists have ...
The recent revival of interest in nuclear power among Massachusetts policymakers comes as the offshore wind industry that ...
