the science behind fusion energy
UCSD Physics Dept Tom Murphy Ah, fusion. Long promised, both on Do the Math and in real life, fusion is regarded as the ultimate power source—the holy grail—the “arrival” of the human species. Talk of fusion conjures visions of green fields and rainbows and bunny rabbits…and a unicorn too, I hear. But I strike too … Read moreNuclear Fusion

Duke Energy Nuclear Information Center Inside the sun, fusion reactions take place at very high temperatures and enormous gravitational pressures The foundation of nuclear energy is harnessing the power of atoms. Both fission and fusion are nuclear processes by which atoms are altered to create energy, but what is the difference between the two? Simply … Read moreFission vs. Fusion – What’s the Difference?

Seattle Times Rachel Lerman July 7, 2015 Redmond-based Helion Energy has raised $10.6 million, according to a filing, to build a fusion engine that would create power. Helion Energy has raised $10.6 million in a new funding round to develop technology that aims to create a fusion reactor to generate power. The company disclosed the … Read moreHelion Energy takes in $10.6M for fusion energy
This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Our energy future depends on nuclear fusion, says Michel Laberge. In a lab near Vancouver, Michel and his team are building a prototype fusion reactor that mimics the processes of the sun to produce cheap, clean and abundant energy. Michel … Read moreNuclear Fusion Within Reach

South China Morning Post Stephen Chen 17 July, 2015 China’s proposed hybrid nuclear fusion-fission reactor could potentially burn nuclear waste. Photo: AFP China will build a new hybrid reactor that can burn nuclear waste via a combined fusion-fission method by 2030. This could give a potentially dramatic boost to China’s attempt to switch to more … Read moreHow China hopes to solve nuclear waste issue with hybrid fusion-fission reactor at top secret facility
