It took 1.1 million construction hours, but the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics is finally ready to turn on the world’s biggest “stellarator”, a type of nuclear fusion machine. Fusion generates an immense amount of clean power, and could potentially solve the current problems related to resource consumption and mitigate the possibility of a […]

Boston based start-up has developed a small scale nuclear reactor, or a nuclear thermal battery as they call it, which has the potential to produce enough electricity to power 2,000 homes. It can function on multiple fuel sources, and its waste can be reused. Nuclear power plants did not live up to everyone’s expectations and deliver […]

Professor José Luis González Díez from the Higher Technical School of Naval Engineering of the UPM has recently patented a prototype of a new clean fusion reactor. The invention has a laser ignition of 1000 MWe and uses hydrogen isotopes extracted from water as fuel. It is a well known fact that nuclear fission holds […]
