nuclear fusion
It’s not the first time we’ve heard these words, but US scientists say they’ve achieved a breakthrough that brings us “one step closer” to finally achieving the ultimate of clean and endless power: nuclear fusion. That breakthrough came yesterday, when researchers at the National Ignition Facility (NIF)
nuclear fusion
A project unveiled today is aimed at helping scientists harness the potential of fusion energy, the same process that powers the sun. Researchers hope that nuclear fusion, rather than the fission energy generated by nuclear plants today, could provide much of the world’s future electricity needs. The University of
nuclear fusion
Scientists are preparing for one of history’s largest and most important experiments: next year’s attempts to produce the world’s first controlled nuclear fusion reaction. If successful, the experiment — set to take place at the US-based National Ignition Facility (NIF) — could lead to the development of a limitless
