LANL Roadrunner models nonlinear physics of high-power lasers (10/31/2009)

Los Alamos scientists are using an adapted version of VPIC, a particle-in-cell plasma physics code, to model the nonlinear physics of laser backscatter energy transfer and plasma instabilities to assist colleagues at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory as they attempt to reach fusion ignition at the National Ignition Facility next year. ...> Full Article



On the road to fusion energy, an accelerator to study warm dense matter (10/18/2009)

On the road to fusion energy, an accelerator to study warm dense matterWarm dense matter exists in the cores of gas giant planets and the preliminary stages of nuclear fusion, among other inaccessible places. With an accelerator being built at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory as part of the Heavy Ion Fusion Science Virtual National Laboratory, a collaboration among Berkeley Lab, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, scientists will soon be able to study warm dense matter in the laboratory. ...> Full Article

'Cold fusion' rebirth? New evidence for existence of controversial energy source (3/24/2009)

'Cold fusion' rebirth? New evidence for existence of controversial energy sourceResearchers are reporting compelling new scientific evidence for the existence of low-energy nuclear reactions, the process once called "cold fusion" that may promise a new source of energy. Scientists describe what they term the first clear visual evidence that LENR devices can produce neutrons, which scientists view as tell-tale signs of nuclear fusion reactions. Their study is scheduled for presentation in March at the 237th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society. ...> Full Article


The Finnish technology research facing the most challenging fusion energy project (1/31/2009)

The global ITER-test power plant project can be seen as one of the most challenging energy projects of mankind. VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and Tampere University of Technology are responsible for developing the maintenance of the critical parts of the fusion plant that is been built in Europe. A full-scale research platform to develop and test the maintenance robot and remote handling operations for ITER has been taken into use on Jan. 29 in Finland. ...> Full Article


Nuclear fusion-fission hybrid could contribute to carbon-free energy future (1/28/2009)

Nuclear fusion-fission hybrid could contribute to carbon-free energy futurePhysicists at the University of Texas at Austin have designed a new system that, when fully developed, would use fusion to eliminate most of the transuranic waste produced by nuclear power plants, making nuclear power a more viable alternative to carbon-based energy sources. ...> Full Article


New insights on fusion power (12/7/2008)

Research carried out at MIT's Alcator C-Mod fusion reactor may have brought the promise of fusion as a future power source a bit closer to reality, though scientists caution that a practical fusion powerplant is still decades away. ...> Full Article
