For MIT their SPARC fusion reactor will work
Researchers are almost certain of this: in all the studies done they find no errors. The SPARC fusion reactor can run, and generate two to 10 times the energy needed to run it.
Will it be the cold fusion weekend (Italian)?
While the Bel Paese struggles with economic reforms and new political pressures, yesterday the first independent test took place on a new energy technology called E-Cat: it is a system that uses low-energy nuclear reactions to produce enormous quantities of cheap and clean energy. If it works, it will be a complete revolution for our society: as Mina said "..and I underline SE". Over the past 2 years, the E-Cat concept and prototypes have been… Read more
Eliminate space debris with laser shots, they are already ready in Japan
Using laser technology developed for nuclear fusion, a Japanese startup wants to target space debris smaller than 10cm.
CRAFT, what stage is the Chinese project to build an artificial Sun?
In an effort to achieve clean, unlimited energy, China is developing an 'artificial sun' through nuclear fusion research.
In China, magnet of records: a million times more powerful than the magnetic core of the Earth.
An increasingly strong magnetic field is what we need to contain the energy of nuclear fusion: and in China they have just set a new record.
A rocket that mimics a solar flare can push us beyond current limits
The thruster exploits processes underlying the solar eruption, also contemplated in future nuclear fusion reactors.
China also has its artificial sun, and it is 10 times warmer than the real one
HL-2M, the nuclear fusion reactor developed in China, is an artificial sun 10 times warmer than the real one. It will start operating in 2020.
Eni and the energy transition, full sail and across the board
This is a fundamental "tactical" issue for the future: this is why we talk about it more and more often, and even today we will be no exception. I'm talking about decarbonization. Yes, I know, it seems like a slightly complex technical term, but in reality it is simply a fundamental objective to protect our planet and ensure a sustainable future for future generations. Capture and sequester CO2 from our atmosphere and store it, or find a way to turn it into something more… Read more

Tech predictions for next year abound: among others, we have these 5 on the “watchlist”. Here they are.
High frequency sound waves will give us hydrogen 14 times easier
The creation process is 14 times easier when exposed to high frequency sound waves. Towards much cheaper green hydrogen.
10 global trends we will see in 2023.
The main trends that can be glimpsed for next year outline an increasingly unstable and dynamic planet. Ready to dance?
An experimental fabric can turn a suit into a mini solar farm
Thousands of tiny solar panels integrated into a dress, a backpack, an accessory can charge our devices in an 'invisible' way.
China finds Helium-3 on the Moon: the great race begins
China brings back to Earth a tiny sample of the mineral that could make the difference in the race for world supremacy: it contains Helium-3 and the prospect of virtually unlimited energy.
Man will exploit mines outside the Earth, but key steps are needed
The era of space mining will arrive: companies and scientists are moving to achieve it, but it won't be easy.
Two new discoveries made in China that will change the fate of humanity
The progress of a civilization can easily be assessed by the quality and effectiveness of its inventions, by the technical and technological advances that have fueled its evolution as mentioned here on FuturoProssimo, but also by the level of awareness achieved by people. Faced with the enormity of a new discovery, or faced with the launch of a new innovative artefact that will change the lives of human beings forever, individuals come to the conclusion that their destiny, together with the overall advancement of civilization, ...
