On December 13th America’s energy secretary, Jennifer Granholm, announced that the country’s National Ignition Facility (NIF) had lived up to the “I” in its name, by achieving ignition. The stuff ...
In a pioneering approach to achieve fusion energy, the SMART device has successfully generated its first tokamak plasma. This step brings the international fusion community closer to achieving ...
A team of researchers has identified a mechanism that could lower the extreme temperature requirements for controlled nuclear fusion. The study reveals that intense low-frequency lasers are ...
Image of digital twin control, in which real plasma is controlled by virtual plasma reproduced on a computer. In this research, we developed a digital twin control system that can estimate optimal ...
The London-based AI lab, which is owned by Alphabet, announced Wednesday that it has trained an AI system to control and sculpt a superheated plasma inside a nuclear fusion reactor. Nuclear fusion, a ...
A portentous rumor is spreading fast through U.S. atomic industry: that a “controlled fusion” (hydrogen) reactor has been or may soon be achieved. Nothing has come into the open, and Atomic Energy ...
