The U.S. Department of Energy announced some big nuclear fusion news this week. It is truly gigantic scientific news, and I don’t intend to downplay the breakthrough at all here. I’m amazed and thrilled U.S. scientists were able to produce net-positive energy for a brief moment in a laser-based nuclear … [continued]
A DOE lab has created a fusion event that created more energy than it consumes — something that has never happened before.
In August of 2021 at Lawrence Livermore National Lab in California, a nuclear fusion milestone was achieved. Researchers at the lab’s National Ignition Facility created a yield of over 1.3 megajoules. It was the first time the researchers had achieved this yield. Three peer-reviewed papers were published about the fusion … [continued]
Fusion has an amazing future as a source of energy. In space craft beyond the orbit of Jupiter sometime in the next two centuries.
There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch, but a new hydrogen-boron solution for “clean” nuclear fusion energy could come pretty close.
Tokamak Energy in the UK powered up its ST40 nuclear fusion machine this week and was able to obtain what it calls “first plasma.” It hopes to get to 100 million degrees Celsius by next year.
For years, HBO’s investigative news series, VICE, has given viewers a glimpse of how climate change is impacting the world. From glacier melt in Greenland and Antarctica, to rising seas in Bangladesh, VICE has provided alarming documentation that our planet is, indeed, in trouble. But last Friday, Shane Smith, VICE’s co-founder … [continued]
Elon Musk has quickly become a global celebrity on the level of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, as is evidenced by his increasing presence at world events and the number of people seeking his perspective on how to fix extremely complex global challenges. Yesterday, he spoke to a French University … [continued]
Lockheed Martin announces new compact fusion reactor design from Skunk Works team, sets off reaction that blows up the Internets.
A reader shared this piece recently and, while we don’t touch on the E-Cat or cold fusion that much here on CleanTechnica (it doesn’t really warrant the time), I know there are a lot of people out there sold on this fool’s gold ‘clean energy’ solution. So, I thought … [continued]
