BEIJING - China has discovered a crystal from the Moon made of a previously unknown mineral, while also confirming that the lunar surface contains a key ingredient for nuclear fusion, a potential form of effectively limitless power that harnesses the same forces that fuel the Sun and other stars. The crystal is part of a
LIVERMORE, Ca. - Scientists have confirmed that they were able to ignite the same chemical reaction that powers the Sun by pumping more power than the entire US electric grid into a small gold capsule. If scientists were able to develop fully functioning fusion power plants, the sites would produce scores of energy using hydrogen from
LONDON, UK - Scientists have been scrambling to crack the code to harness nuclear fusion, which has been hailed as a “holy grail” energy source. Eventually, a nuclear fusion process could generate electricity by using heat from fusion reactions. This is the same process used by stars, where hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium and
LONDON, UK - First Light Fusion achieved the stunning reaction using a unique method at its laboratory in Kidlington. The projectile method is reportedly an easier and more efficient technique than other existing approaches to develop what has been referred to develop a fusion reaction. Usually, complex and expensive lasers or magnets are used to
