The Department of Energy (DOE) released a new roadmap for the US to realize the decades-long dream of harnessing fusion energy. It’s a commitment to support research and development efforts and pursue public-private partnerships to finally build the first generation of fusion power plants. And of course, the plan hypes up AI as both a tool that can lead to …

Over the past five years, private-sector funding for fusion energy has exploded. The total invested is approaching US$10 billion (A$15 billion), from a combination of venture capital, deep-tech investors, energy corporations and sovereign governments. Most of the companies involved (and the cash) are in the United States, though activity is also increasing in China and Europe. Why has this happened? …

A team of researchers at MIT think they may have lowered one of the major barriers to achieving large-scale nuclear fusion—taking us one step closer to making an abundant form of energy a reality. By harnessing the same processes that power stars, we would have access to a clean, safe, and practically limitless energy source. Scientists have built reactors to …

The breakthrough scientific moment for fusion power—and the potential for nearly limitless electricity from a so-called star in a jar—came at the end of 2022 when scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory successfully achieved “first ignition,” fusing atoms through extreme heat to generate more energy than the setup consumes for the first time ever. The project’s principal designer, nuclear physicist …

The Ras/Myc transformed prostate cancer line, RM9, was a kind gift from Timothy C. Thompson (MD Anderson Cancer Centre) and has been previously described45. ID8, …

Months of wondering have been put to rest — Albuquerque will officially be home to Pacific Fusion’s first research and manufacturing campus. A major win for New Mexico, the California-based nuclear fusion energy company has selected Albuquerque’s Mesa del Sol to build its $1 billion facility, officials announced Friday. Since July, the state has held its breath as it navigated competition …

“Korean Scientists Broke The Laws Of Physics”: Seoul Lab Creates Plasma Chain Reaction While Fusion Energy Becomes Reality Tomorrow  Rude Baguette Source link

Researchers in South Korea have solved a long-standing mystery in plasma physics by experimentally demonstrating how tiny magnetic ripples can trigger large-scale structural changes within plasma. The phenomenon, known as multiscale coupling, was confirmed for the first time by a research team led by Hwang Yong-Seok, PhD, a professor at the Department of Nuclear Engineering at Seoul National University (SNY).  …
