Nuclear physicists are notching scientific advances for fusion energy, fueling hopes - and billions in investment - to create an energy source that doesn't produce carbon or nuclear waste. Why it matters: For decades, scientists have chased the dream of using fusion for limitless clean energy.

REDMOND, Wash.--()--Helion Energy (Helion), a clean electricity company committed to creating a new era of clean energy through fusion, today became the first private company to announce exceeding 100 million degrees Celsius in their 6th fusion generator prototype, Trenta.

A Florida team working with the US Air Force says that it's built and tested an experimental model of a rotating detonation rocket engine, which uses a spinning series of chaotic explosions inside a ring channel to create super-efficient thrust.

From Popular Mechanics Private startup TAE has announced it's just 9 years from a commercial nuclear fusion plant. The challenges of plasma fusion are mostly in containment. TAE uses a particle accelerator beam to superheat plasma.

Return to ITER Power Facts Main Page A retired plasma physicist has given New Energy Times permission to republish critical letters he wrote about the ITER fusion reactor project many years ago. He has done this despite risks associated with publicly criticizing the international project.

health Updated: Nov 21, 2020, 09:49 IST The World Health Organization recommended against using Gilead Sciences Inc.'s remdesivir to treat hospitalized Covid-19 patients less than a month after U.S. regulators granted the drug a speedy approval.

A prototype jet engine can propel itself without using any fossil fuels, potentially paving the way for carbon-neutral air travel. The device compresses air and ionizes it with microwaves, generating plasma that thrusts it forward, according to research published Tuesday in the journal AIP Advances.
