A leap forward for fusion power
News: Physicists at the National Ignition Facility, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, in Livermore California, claim to have generated nearly as much energy as they put into an inertial confinement system. This development is regarding the break through research in nuclear fusion process. Though Nuclear fusion has many benefits, some drawbacks make it unviable as of… Continue reading A leap forward for fusion power
Nuclear fusion could be close enough to start blue-sky gazing
News: The nuclear-fusion startup, Helion, recently announced that it has developed new technologies that may make nuclear fusion viable. Nuclear fusion could be used to produce relatively clean energy (hydrogen fuel), which could then be deployed in a number of ways, unleashing a chain reaction across the global economy. How cheap and clean energy could… Continue reading Nuclear fusion could be close enough to start blue-sky gazing
