The NT Times had a recent article discussing laser nuclear fusion. Nextbigfuture has spoken with all of the nuclear fusion companies listed in the NY Times article as they all attended the 2023 ...

The US Naval Research Laboratory (AFL) is developing an Argon Fluoride (ArF) laser that may one day make fusion power a practical commercial technology. The wide-bandwidth ultraviolet laser is ...

HB11 is approaching nuclear fusion from an entirely new angle, using high power, high precision lasers instead of hundred-million-degree temperatures to start the reaction. Its first demo has produced ...

California-based Longview Fusion Energy Systems has contracted US engineering and construction firm Fluor Corporation to design the world's first commercial laser fusion power plant. A rendering of a ...

The squeeze is on: New simulations show that with the new optimization technique, convergent shocks on the fusion plasma (shown here in a spherical target at NIF) should be almost twice as dense.

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Since the 1950s, scientists have quested to bring nuclear fusion ...

A memorandum of understanding has been signed by representatives from politics, business and science aimed at establishing a laser-based nuclear fusion power plant at the former Biblis nuclear power ...

The advent of high-intensity-pulsed laser technology enables the generation of extreme states of matter under conditions that are far from thermal equilibrium. This in turn could enable different ...

The quest to make fusion power a reality recently took a massive step forward. The National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory announced the results of an experiment ...
