It may be the most ambitious scientific venture ever: a global collaboration to create an unlimited supply of clean, cheap energy. And this week it took a crucial step forward. Steve Connor reports. An idyllic...
THE QUEST for developing a nuclear fusion reactor has received a boost. In a crucial breakthrough, scientists in a joint project of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Columbia University in the United States successfully tested a novel way of confining plasma at...
Fusion power is the holy grail of energy production and it just got a little bit closer. A bank of lasers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California have heated a fuel pellet to temperatures...
Scientists at the US Navy's Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SPAWAR) in San Diego, California, reported scientific evidence supporting the existence of cold fusion at a meeting of the American Chemical Society at Salt Lake City in Utah, United States, on Monday.The...
"When the first lasers were developed in the 1960s they were described as "a solution looking for a problem."
Today, the beams of light are ubiquitous, crammed into everything from CD players and phone networks to supermarket checkouts and research laboratories. They have...
