Times of India Paul John | TNN | Dec 24, 2015 AHMEDABAD: The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), which is the world’s biggest six -country scientific collaboration to generate nuclear fusion energy in Saint-PaulLez-Durance in France, now officially has a Gujarati heart. The institute of plasma research (IPR) in Gandhinagar, which houses the ITERIndia team … 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
