the Last Tech Age 2014/12/30 Do magnetized plasma targets offer options for smaller, cheaper fusion power? In this part -2 of our Paths Not Followed series, we discuss 3 proposals that show promise of being fusion game changers. All consider manipulating blobs of plasma isolated from any coils that generate magnetic fields for confinement. All … Read more

Treehugger.com Christine Lepisto August 11, 2015 Illustration courtesy of the MIT ARC team The greatest fusion reactor in our neighborhood sends energy free for the harvesting from about 8 light-minutes away, where it safely burns and flares without any help at all from the small, blue marble that orbits it once a year. But expansion … Read more
New York Times ANDREW C. REVKIN AUGUST 11, 2015 It’s a sure bet that the best known “arc reactor” in the world is the glowing energy source in the chest of Tony Stark, the inventor with a superhero complex at the heart of the “Iron Man” film franchise. But within a decade, if a new … Read more
MIT News David L. Chandler | MIT News Office | August 10, 2015 New design could finally help to bring the long-sought power source closer to reality. A cutaway view of the proposed ARC reactor. Thanks to powerful new magnet technology, the much smaller, less-expensive ARC reactor would deliver the same power output as a … Read more
newscientist.com 23 July 2015 China’s will be bigger and better (Image: David Parker/SPL) The world’s largest nuclear fusion machine, currently being built in France, is unlikely to produce more energy than it consumes until the early 2030s, warned the UK’s head of fusion research this week. That is five years later than planned – by … Read more
