Physicists confirm DT fusion insights from a 1938 experiment. The findings connect past theory with current fusion efforts. A ...

“If we could not ignite capsules in the laboratory, you could not see a pathway to an inertial confinement fusion energy plant,” she said. “So this was a necessary first step.” ...

It can be found inside gas giants such as Jupiter and is briefly created during meteorite impacts or in laser fusion experiments: warm dense matter ...

A paper on fusion neutron sources by a team from the United States of America’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the University of Rochester has won the IAEA’s annual Nuclear Fusion prize.

The NIF relies on the principle of laser-based inertial confinement fusion. The fuel – the hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium – is enclosed in a capsule. This is placed in a vacuum chamber.

FREMONT, Calif., April 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pacific Fusion Corporation, which raised a >$900M series A in 2024 to power the world with abundant, affordable, and clean energy, is ...

But they ripped it up and started again with Polaris, its seventh. Both employ Magneto-Inertial fusion, a combination of inertial and magnetic confinement the company says is smaller and lower cost.

Funding Will Drive Target Fabrication and Laser Study for Commercial Inertial Fusion Power Plants and Support Critical Systems Research for Magnetic Fusion Energy SAN DIEGO, Feb. 10, 2025 (GLOBE ...

Like many times before, the inertial confinement experiment generated only a few nanoseconds of fusion, but this time, something was different. This time, the experiment got more energy out of the ...

Smashing a fuel pellet with lasers falls under the category of inertial confinement fusion. The other way, known as magnetic confinement fusion, uses powerful magnets to trap a burning cloud of ...
