Fusion Reaction in the sky
February 11, 2015 marks five years in space for NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which provides incredibly detailed images of the whole sun 24 hours a day. Capturing an image more than once per second, SDO has provided an unprecedentedly clear picture of how massive explosions on the sun grow and erupt ever since its launch … Read more
RT award winning documentary on fusion and the ITER project status
On this award-winning show of Technology Update, we check up on one of largest international scientific collaborations ever, the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor. ITER has the potential to produce unlimited clean power by making the Holy Grail of energy production, nuclear fusion, a reality. Our journey takes us to the ITER construction site in sunny … Read more
Thermonuclear fusion versus Murphy’s Law

Should Google Go Nuclear?
Posted on Youtube by Google Tech Talks on Oct.8, 2007 ABSTRACT This is not your father’s fusion reactor! Forget everything you know about conventional thinking on nuclear fusion: high-temperature plasmas, steam turbines, neutron radiation and even nuclear waste are a thing of the past. Goodbye thermonuclear fusion; hello inertial electrostatic confinement fusion (IEC), an old … Read more
Culham Centre, UK: The future is fusion
Uploaded Jan. 25, 2012 by the UK’s Culham Centre for Fusion There’s nothing hotter than fusion at the moment (at up to several hundred million degrees, we mean that quite literally), so we were delighted to join forces with the UK Fusion Programme to make this…
Michel Laberge: How synchronized hammer strikes could generate nuclear fusion
Our energy future depends on nuclear fusion, says Michel Laberge. The plasma physicist runs a small company with a big idea for a new type of nuclear reactor that could produce clean, cheap energy. His secret recipe? High speeds, scorching temperatures and crushing pressure. In this hopeful talk, he explains how nuclear fusion might be … Read more
