which NIF engineers originally designed to implode fuel capsules for research into nuclear fusion power. The team fixed a diamond inside a hole cut in a small gold cylinder
An unexpected pattern has been glimpsed in the solar wind the turbulent plasma of charged particles that streams from the sun. It offers clues for handling plasmas that roil inside nuclear fusion reactors On earth.
The result may help to control nuclear fusion reactors. These create energy in the same way as the sun by fusing a superheated plasma of hydrogen nuclei to form helium.
#Small-scale nuclear fusion may be a new energy source Fusion energy may soon be used in small-scale power stations. This means producing environmentally friendly heating
Nuclear fusion is a process whereby atomic nuclei melt together and release energy. Because of the low binding energy of the tiny atomic nuclei, energy can be released by combining two small nuclei with a heavier one.
"This is a considerable advantage compared to other nuclear fusion processes which are under development at other research facilities,
The energy in the neutrons which accumulate in large quantities in other types of nuclear fusion is difficult to handle
nuclear fusion has gone from a promising source of effectively limitless power to something more like a punch line.
Lockheed martin s announcement last week that it had developed secretly a promising design for a compact nuclear fusion reactor has met with excitement but also skepticism over the basic feasibility of its approach.
Nuclear fusion could produce far more energy far more cleanly than the fission reactions at the heart of today s nuclear power plants.
