Nuclear fusion is the process of forcing together two light atomic nuclei and creating a heavier one, releasing massive amounts of energy.
Nuclear fusion is back in the news. This week, the US Department of Energyannouncedwhat it called a “major scientific breakthrough” in fusion power research:for the first time, a fusion experiment had produced more energy than the energy used to kick off the reaction. It’s not the first...
Traditional ways of producing power are wasteful. Typically, 60-90% of the energy produced is lost, meaning that we can only use 10-40%.There is also the problem of waste materials and pollution. Nuclear fusion is more than ten million times more efficient (高效的) than burning coal as ...
The AI proved adept at positioning and shaping the plasma inside the tokamak's fusion chamber in the most common configurations, including the so-called snowflake shape thought to be the most efficient configuration for fusion, Felici said. In addition, it was able to shape the plasma into "...
If you are an engineer, go ahead and laugh now. If you are not, ask and engineering friend who builds nuclear reactors how long this will take and wait for laughter. We are a long way away. But the journey has started. Do not buy that fusion mutual fund or fusion ETF (and tell yo...
Particularly characteristic of helium-3 in the Lunar soil, will change the energy structure of human society. In surface soil of the moon there's millions of tons of helium-3, which is a highly efficient, clean, safe nuclear fusion fuels, 1 ton of helium-3 power is sufficient for the wh...

In fact, the history of technology and automation suggests it could well be the opposite, de Vries added. He pointed to cryptocurrency. “Efficiency gains have never reduced the energy consumption of cryptocurrency mining,” he said. “When we make certain goods and services more efficient, we ...
