LONDON - Groundbreaking research from the University of Bristol and the UK Atomic Energy Authority has created the world’s first carbon-14 battery, a revolutionary energy source that could transform the way we think about energy, waste, and sustainability. A Revolutionary Energy Source The carbon-14 battery works by utilizing the radioactive decay of carbon-14, a process that occurs naturally
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 - Scientists in England have set a new record for the quantity of energy generated during a controlled, sustained fusion reaction. The creation of 59 megajoules of energy over five seconds at the Joint European Torus – or JET – experiment in England has been dubbed a “breakthrough” by certain media organizations and has sparked
