Extreme Tech By Graham Templeton on November 3, 2015 If we are to continue advancing as a species and consuming more and more power per person, then there are only two possible endpoints for human power production, and they’re both fusion. Either we figure out how to soak up and use a large portion of … Read more
Phys.org November 3, 2015 Oxford University researchers have developed a new method that makes it possible to study whether the deterioration of nuclear fusion reactor materials in the face of extreme radiation may cause catastrophic thermal failure. Nuclear fusion is an attractive option for creating sustainable energy, in principle using the same reactions found at … Read more
