This is still twelve times less than the 20 megajoules that simulations indicate can be achieved. Everything would need to be redesigned to try to get to net power generation for the whole system. 422 ...

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 ...

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 breakthrough came in an impossibly small slice of time, less than it takes a beam of light to move an inch. In that tiny moment, nuclear fusion as an energy source went from far-away dream to ...

Construction activity will start this month on a powerful new laser research facility located on Colorado State University’s Foothills Campus. Scheduled to open in mid-2026, the facility is the ...

Even scientists who were skeptical of work at the National Ignition Facility called the results a success. By Kenneth Chang Scientists have come tantalizingly close to reproducing the power of the sun ...

A team of scientists led by University of Nevada, Reno’s Hiroshi Sawada, an associate professor of the Physics Department, demonstrated that numerical modeling accurately reproduces x-ray images using ...
