The pursuit of virtually inexhaustible, low-carbon baseload electricity rests heavily on mastering these contrasting physical reactions. To appreciate why global regulators and private laboratories are pouring billions into next-generation systems, one must look closely at how each process generates heat,…
The rotor is scheduled to travel through Santa Fe from Old Las Vegas Highway Saturday Oct. 17. From there the equipment will travel to White Rock, heading north on U.S. 285 and west on N.M. 502. On Sunday, Oct. 18, the equipment is scheduled to travel…
In the middle of the Cold War, the film company found a surprising way to harness weapons-grade uranium. But the truth about the reactor was stranger, and tamer, than the headlines suggested. In 1975, Kodak powered up the country’s first californium…
Scientists may have found a surprising shortcut to nuclear fusion that could dramatically cut the energy needed to ignite the power of the Sun. For more than seven decades, scientists have relied on an equation called the Lawson criterion to…
The National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Innovation Corps, or I-Corps, is a program that prepares scientists and engineers to extend their focus beyond the laboratory to accelerate the transfer of cutting-edge, deep tech research into commercial success. Brown University is proud…
Researchers have built a vacuum-compatible system that uses direct electric heating to measure the spectral emissivity of refractory metals from 500 to over 3,000 degrees Celsius with uncertainty below 2 percent. News Source: Denise Maddox. (October 16, 2026). New Vacuum Furnace Turns Metal Samples Into…
A three-year project led by Joshua Burby will build neural network models to explore new stellarator designs and lower the cost of future fusion power plants. Leaders of the project are (from left to right) Tan Bui-Thanh, Joshua Burby and…
| by Tim Ventura | Predict | Oct, 2026 Medium Cold Fusion & LENR: From Nanogaps to Megawatts? Cold fusion didn’t end in 1989, but can it scale from lab experiments to megawatts? Former Los Alamos nuclear chemist Dr. Edmund Storms believes the answer depends less…
A*STAR And VDL Enabling Technologies Group Announce Strategic Partnership To Accelerate Technology And Manufacturing Development Across Fusion And Extreme-environment Systems Agency for Science, Technology and Research
Thea Energy has published the full preconceptual design for Helios, a stellarator fusion power plant rated at 1.1 gigawatts thermal and roughly 400 megawatts of net electricity, laid out across 16 peer reviewed papers in Fusion Engineering and Design. A New Jersey company…
