China’s race to harness fusion energy is no longer confined to a single experimental reactor. Its so‑called “artificial sun” ...

The future of potentially clean, endless fusion power may soon be in the hands of researchers at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. Long known as one of the premier laser research campuses, ...

HB11 is approaching nuclear fusion from an entirely new angle, using high power, high precision lasers instead of hundred-million-degree temperatures to start the reaction. Its first demo has produced ...

The mere mention of 10,000 suns inside a laser may bring up thoughts of immense solar power captured within a laser. However, when 10,000 suns in a laser is mentioned in terms of fusion, it refers to ...

There are three main types of nuclear fusion and PB11 (hydrogen-boron) is the most desired. PB11 nuclear fusion would have almost no neutron radiation but it takes 1 billion degree temperatures ...

This article provides an overview of laser‐induced nuclear fusion, an emerging field that employs ultra‐intense laser pulses to facilitate and enhance nuclear fusion reactions. By leveraging the ...

IEEE Spectrum – John J. Chapman, a NASA engineer, is proposing nuclear fusion propulsion for space satellites and space probes. He made a presentation at the IEEE Symposium on Fusion Engineering in ...

Longview Fusion Energy, a firm leveraging the recent fusion breakthrough at the National Ignition Facility (NIF), has secured a contract with engineering, procurement, and construction specialist ...

The squeeze is on: New simulations show that with the new optimization technique, convergent shocks on the fusion plasma (shown here in a spherical target at NIF) should be almost twice as dense.
