The National Ignition Facility, home of the first net-positive fusion reaction, is back with an even more powerful energy ...

The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Ignition Facility increased the yield of the experiment in recent attempts.

And that’s just for inertial confinement. Another method of achieving fusion, called magnetic confinement fusion, relies on holding plasma (a state of matter where atoms are stripped of their ...

The National Ignition Facility (NIF), based at the US Department of Energy's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, has steadily increased the amount of energy produced in its ...

In addition to magnetic confinement, some researchers are pursuing inertial confinement fusion, which is pulsed by definition. In inertial confinement fusion, power must be delivered to a small target ...

In a facility just outside Bordeaux, one of France’s most prominent technology companies has unveiled an ambitious plan to ...

was a popular fusion concept in the 1980s. In fact, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory worked magnetic mirror confinement in tandem with its now-famous inertial confinement facility.

defined by how each machine confines the super-hot plasma needed to create fusion reactions: gravitational, inertial, and magnetic confinement fusion reactors. A GRAVITATIONAL CONFINEMENT FUSION ...

The biggest example is the two main approaches to fusion – magnetic confinement and laser inertial confinement. Though they both aim at fusing hydrogen isotopes, they take completely different ...

The way scientists think about fusion changed forever in 2022, when what some called the experiment of the century demonstrated for the first time that fusion can be a viable source of clean energy.
