AI’s Next Trick: Unlimited Fusion Power
AI algorithms can quickly determine how to control fusion reactions
MIT expands research collaboration with Commonwealth Fusion Systems to build net energy fusion machine, SPARC
New five-year agreement will support SPARC science, increase graduate students and postdocs, and support interdisciplinary work toward fusion power plants.
Is this the next billionaire space race? Oxfordshire village is ground zero in Next founder’s race against Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates to create fusion power
The leafy village of Milton in Oxfordshire is an unlikely crucible for a green energy revolution that could power Britain’s homes for generations into the future.
Kernfusion als Energiequelle: Start-ups steigen ins Rennen ein
Physiker kommen dabei voran, Fusionskraftwerke zu realisieren. Neben den Großprojekten ITER und Wendelstein spielen Start-ups wie „Focused Energy“ aus Darmstadt eine Schlüsselrolle.
How BC Company General Fusion Closing In On Elusive Nuclear Fusion Dream
In 1938, a brilliant scientist named Hans Bethe proved that fusing atoms rather than splitting them, a process called cold fusion, produces the enormous energy emitted by stars. It is the Holy Grail of scientists because it generates cheap, limitless and environmentally clean energy. A British Columbia startup called General Fusion is getting close to…
White House Sets Sights on Commercial Fusion Energy
At a recent White House summit, fusion experts discussed ways to accelerate the development of commercial fusion energy and embed justice considerations into the foundations of the nascent industry.
Recent Nuclear Fusion Breakthroughs and the Opportunities They Offer
A milestone has been reached in the quest to harness the power of the stars for cost-effective clean energy on Earth by scientists working to establish practical nuclear fusion.
Making the heart of a star power the world | FT Rethink
Nuclear fusion has enormous potential as an energy source – it doesn’t produce carbon and creates a lot less radioactive waste than current fission nuclear reactors. Until now, generating a nuclear fusion reaction efficiently has proved impossible but, as Anjana Ahuja explains, we’ve recently seen some impressive breakthroughs, and there’s also a lot more private…
Why did OpenAI invest in a nuclear fusion startup?
According to research company Pitchbook, last year venture investors spent USD 3.4 billion on nuclear start-ups – a record, and more than every year over the last decade combined together.
The Holy Grail of Energy Generation Might Finally Be Within Our Grasp
If you’ve ever been outside during the day, you’ve seen a fusion reactor—though you’re not supposed to stare directly at it. The sun is our fusion reactor in the sky. It’s constantly fusing hydrogen atoms to create helium, and this process generates a massive amount of energy, which produces the light and heat that make…
