When a high-intensity laser interacts with plasma, the charged particles typically oscillate back and forth like waves on the ...
Experiments at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's National Ignition Facility (NIF) require breathtaking precision. Each ...
In what its instigators describe as a "boost for Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE) in Germany", the PriFUSIO research project, announced this week, is intended to systematically develop key technologies ...
EX-Fusion, claimed to be the first startup in Japan aimed at commercializing laser-based fusion for power generation, says it has closed an initial stage of funding worth ¥130 million ($1 million).
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 ...
Scientists and engineers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California for the first time successfully produced more energy from a nuclear fusion reaction than the laser power needed to ...
