Nuclear Friends Foundation 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 second … Read more

Illinois News Bureau AUSTIN KEATING DEC 22, 2015 The W7-X experiment’s successful creation of plasma in Germany is a step along the path to fusion energy, says Illinois research professor Daniel Andruczyk. Photo by L. Brian Stauffer Editor’s note: Nuclear fusion – the process of recreating the reaction that powers the sun for unlimited energy … Read more

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

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
