Between progress and disappointments, nuclear fusion energy struggles to become a real source, amid uncertainties and costs. Seriously: how much more time does it take?
Nuclear fusion could be the key to a clean energy future, but there are still many unknowns. This is what we have to overcome.
The English company presents the nuclear fusion power plant that promises to revolutionize the world of energy from 2030.
Nuclear fusion energy will be clean, efficient and convenient: and at least initially it could have a British accent.
Scientists have revived a 1987 method of producing nuclear fusion power at a fraction of the cost predicted by ITER.
Nuclear fusion energy advances slowly. Now a new approach based on boron-hydrogen removes many of the obstacles to a future of clean and unlimited energy.
Getting reactions from nuclear fusion that give more energy than you put into the system can be the final answer to the climate crisis.
Five years of delay in completing the Iter experimental reactor were today announced. It is a huge machine designed to demonstrate the feasibility of nuclear fusion. But it cannot be completed before the end of 2025 and with an extra 4 billion euros in funding from member countries. The project aims to reproduce on Earth the thermonuclear reactions that take place in the core of stars. It officially started in 2005, but soon the… Read more
A team of scientists from Imperial College London has probably made the possibility of obtaining unlimited energy from nuclear fusion less distant thanks to a theoretical model of a laser that can develop 10 million degrees Celsius (probably a higher temperature than what is found to the center of the Sun) in 20 quadrillionths of a second: practically instantaneously. The development represents a step forward towards the dream of obtaining energy from thermonuclear fusion: a clean, sustainable and unlimited source… Read more
