There’s no perfect form of energy. Coal and natural gas emit carbon dioxide. Solar and wind are intermittent. Nuclear is costly and creates radioactive waste. Geothermal and hydro are ...
A Chinese nuclear astrophysics team has made the most sensitive direct measurement yet of 12C(12C,a0)23Na down to Ec.m.=2.22 MeV The fusion of carbon nuclei (12 C+ 12 C) is a fundamental reaction that ...
Imagine trying to hear a single voice humming in a stadium of screaming fans. That’s how difficult it is to detect the fusion of two carbon atoms at the same low energies, where it happens inside ...
Scientists at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have developed a method to increase fusion reaction rates at room temperature. Using a custom-built, bench-top reactor, the team demonstrated ...
In the Japanese art of Kintsugi, an artist takes the broken shards of a bowl and fuses them back together with gold to make a final product more beautiful than the original. That idea is inspiring a ...
Sophie Blondel receives funding from the US Department of Energy. Fusion energy has the potential to be an effective clean energy source, as its reactions generate incredibly large amounts of energy.
Explore how fusion energy research is extending reaction times, highlighting nuclear fusion progress toward reliable, large-scale clean energy while explaining challenges, technologies, and future ...
