The man shot to death in his Brookline home on Monday night was identified as an MIT lab director and professor.
Let’s start with the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s National Ignition Facility (NIF)—arguably the largest, most established fusion research facility in the world. This year, NIF continued firing its reactor, tweaking even the most minute details of its setup in hopes of the slightest improvement in energy yield efficiency.
Scientists are conducting experiments to generate clean energy through fusion, the same sub-atomic reaction that powers our Sun, with the aim of constructing plants that produce more energy than they consume. Nearly 100,000 of angry demonstrators gathered ...
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 ...
NANO Nuclear’s Executives to speak on the Global Energy Transition and the Role of Nuclear “There has been a lot of excitement around the industry lately and I expect to find a very engaged audience in Boston,” said Ian Farnan Ph.D., Lead of Nuclear ...
Google signed the first direct corporate power purchase agreement for nuclear fusion energy with Commonwealth Fusion Systems. The global race to achieve commercial nuclear fusion is intensifying, with significant investments from the U.S., China, and the ...
Nuclear fusion, the process that powers the Sun, has the potential to generate clean and abundant energy. However, it requires two atomic nuclei to collide head-on at high energies, and current fusion reactors cannot produce enough of these collisions to ...
Supporters of the vast, but thus far elusive, potential of nuclear fusion have released a “road map” that quantifies the economic impact the nascent industry could deliver for California — provided state policymakers make regulatory and legislative ...
