Fusion energy needs more than a sustained fusion reaction before it can help the world produce sufficient carbon-neutral energy. The U.S. Department of Energy has identified a research and development agenda for a suite of technologies and processes to enable fusion.
NAKA, IBARAKI PREF. – Scientist Shunsuke Ide points to the large screen in the control room of the JT-60SA, a giant device for nuclear fusion experiments in a rural municipality northeast of Tokyo that is preparing for its first run. A demonstration video shows how the plasma crucial to the process is generated.
A new fusion energy advanced prototype with power plant-relevant magnet technology will be built by Tokamak Energy at UKAEA’s Culham Campus, near Oxford.
The world needs fusion more than ever. For those in the hunt to harness nature’s most tantalizing and challenging energy source, the question is no longer how but how soon
Last year’s achievement of ‘scientific energy gain’ has galvanised a sector that has long been in development
In December, the U.S. Department of Energy announced that researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory achieved nuclear fusion ignition, a major scientific breakthrough and a potentially big step for clean energy.
NT-Tao has raised $22 million to explore a way to generate clean energy from nuclear fusion in an efficient way.
Meet Renaissance Fusion, a Grenoble-based startup that has been working on nuclear fusion for the past couple of years. The company recently raised $16.4 million (€15 million) in funding in a seed round led by Lowercarbon Capital.
UKAEA and First Light Fusion to construct a new facility to house First Light’s new net energy gain demonstrator (“Machine 4”) in Oxford, UK.
On December 5th, scientists at the National Ignition Facility reached a breakthrough in nuclear fusion by producing a reaction with an energy gain. It could be a step toward a world in the distant future where fusion is a source of power. Nuclear Fusion: Inside the breakthrough that could change our world | 60 Minutes
