Gineersnow.com 29.08.2016 Via Princeton Plasma Physics Lab There are different ways to generate power out of renewable sources, but rarely does fusion power – the result of fusing the nuclei of two or more lighter atoms into one heavier nucleus – come into mind. Although it holds a promise in providing a low-cost, sustainable energy … Read more
The Tech News AUGUST 29, 2016 IRENE ADLER The ultimate race all the scientists in the world are competing for constructing the very first nuclear fusion machine. This machine will have the ability to imitate the energy generating process that has been constantly been fueling our Sun for 4.5 billion years! Consequently, the whole mankind … Read more

Physicists around the world have been racing to build a nuclear fusion machine that can replicate the atom-fusing process that’s fuelled our Sun for the past 4.5 billion years, in a … Read more
Sciencealert.com FIONA MACDONALD | 11 AUG 2016 Stronger than any magnetic field on Earth. Researchers have proposed a new way to use lasers to generate magnetic fields that are at least one order of magnitude stronger than anything we can currently produce on Earth. In nature, such super-strong fields only exist in space, and they … Read more
CCFE 24/08/2016 A concept for a device to tackle some of the main hurdles standing in the way of commercial fusion power has been drawn up by Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory with input from CCFE. The Fusion Nuclear Science Facility would for the first time integrate systems for electricity production, materials and component testing, and … Read more
