(© picture alliance / dpa) Physicists at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) in Greifswald, Germany were responsible for a major scientific breakthrough on December 10. With a single tweet, the team responsible for plasma physics announced that it had isolated … Read more
DW.com Innovative designs using modern superconductors are supposed to bring us nuclear fusion power plants soon – some optimists say. Fusion experts predict, however, that a practical application will take many more decades. Nuclear fusion is considered a potential energy source of the future. It’s clean nuclear energy. But what is it, exactly and why … Read more
ForbesTom Gillis DEC 15, 2015 Recently I went to an event and met a group of senior government and industry people. They were on a mission to Silicon Valley so they can better understand how it works. But it turns out I learned a few things about physics and the future of humanity. Another company … Read more

One of the gold-colored trim coils built and delivered by PPPL can be seen at the far right of the machine. Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Princeton … Read more
Daily Mail By Stephen Adams and Allan Hall In Berlin Dec. 12, 2015 The Wendelstein 7-X machine in Germany cost €1billion to construct The device recreates conditions similar to those occurring inside stars Technology could lead to limitless supplies of clean and cheap energy It created one-million-degrees-centigrade plasma for tenth of a second Its twisted … Read more
wccftech.com by Ahmed Bilal Dec 13, 2015 Scientists in Germany have announced that they have successfully fired up one of the world’s largest nuclear fusion machines. The machine was able to create a special super-hot gas which the scientists hope will lead to an unlimited supply of clean energy through nuclear fusion. Scientists are just … Read more
Nanite Solution Posted on December 13, 2015 by Dan R. Do you remember hearing about those Global Climate Change talks that were going on in Paris[France]? Well they just agreed on something so monumental it could affect the outcome of the very planet upon which we call home. 196 countries have agreed to a part-legal/part-voluntary … Read more
Sydney Morning Herald December 14, 2015 Powering our planet using the kind of energy produced by the sun is a dream that may come true sooner than expected. The conversion of hydrogen to helium in the sun offers solutions to Earth’s energy problems. Photo: The Age The long-held dream of producing power from nuclear fusion, … Read more
Nanocomputer.com December 10, 2015 Fusion power is the Holy Grail of energy production – seen by some as a silver bullet for a carbon-neutral future. The failure of the multi-billion dollar ITER project to produce reactor relevant fusion has disappointed scientists and environmentalists. But a batch of small firms like Tokamak Energy believes they’re close … Read more
BBC 11 December 2015 The Wendelstein 7-X machine’s plasma – but nuclear fusion is still years away A German nuclear fusion experiment has produced a special super-hot gas which scientists hope will eventually lead to clean, cheap energy. The helium plasma – a cloud of loose, charged particles – lasted just a tenth of a … Read more
