Lithium-6 is a crucial material for nuclear fusion reactors, but isolating it is challenging – now researchers have found a ...
Described as an exoskeleton, or a cage, the support structure surrounds the central solenoid, which is a 60-foot-tall ...
Enriched Lithium is a critical ingredient in fusion reactors. Making it is a toxic nightmare, but scientists may have found a ...
The reactor, called Lawson Machine 26 (LM26), is General Fusion’s latest iteration in a string of devices that have tested ...
Nuclear fusion reactors, if and when they become practical, will need a steady supply of fuel. The source of that fuel is the ...
The company announced yesterday that it had created plasma inside its prototype reactor – a major milestone in proving its technology. This proves General Fusion's Lawson Machine 26 (LM26 ...
The startup is betting that by simplifying stellarators, it can make fusion power cheaper and easier to maintain.
Superconducting magnets inside a fusion reactor will experience conditions that aren’t seen anywhere on Earth. Materials scientists Susie Speller and Chris Grovenor are trying to predict how long ...
A world record for nuclear fusion has been smashed after an ‘artificial sun’ reactor was able to maintain a plasma for more than 22 minutes. The WEST reactor, in southern France, is at the ...
a superheated fourth state of matter required for fusion, inside a prototype reactor. The milestone marks the beginning of a 93-week quest to prove that the outfit’s steampunk approach to fusion ...
