After all, achieving controlled nuclear fusion requires replicating the extreme conditions in stars so that isotopes can overcome their electrostatic repulsion (known as the Coulomb barrier ...
has called nuclear fusion "intrinsically safe." The conditions required to start and maintain a fusion reaction are so extreme that it is impossible for it to run out of control. "Fusion is a self ...
Google-backed DeepMind has trained a machine learning algorithm to control the hot plasma inside a tokamak nuclear fusion reactor. It might sound like the start of an '80s blockbuster, but the ...
Among the experiments was an effort to see if nuclear fusion, the reaction which powers the sun, could be sparked on earth in a controlled setting. The experiments were classified, but it was ...
