Plasma pinches: From pursuits of nuclear fusion to an attractive point source of accelerated protons for proton radiography.
A fusion company has made a few light bulbs glow by converting plasma straight into electricity for the very first time. The ...
The achievement shows kinetic energy from charged exhaust particles can be converted into useful electricity, but it's still not a working commercial reactor.
An experimental fusion reactor in Madison, Wisconsin, has achieved a technical milestone by converting ...
Researchers at Texas A&M University have developed a new method for producing graphene oxide directly from methane using a ...
MADISON, Wis., June 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Realta Fusion, the world's leading magnetic mirror fusion energy company, today announced the first ever demonstration of direct energy conversion (DEC) of ...
Plasma thrusters are already operational on spacecraft as a means of solar-electric locomotion, using xenon plasma, but such things are no use in the Earth's atmosphere, as accelerated xenon ions lose ...
Plasma physics examines the behaviour of ionised gases in which collective electromagnetic effects dominate. In magnetic‐confinement fusion, hot plasmas of deuterium–tritium fuel are held in toroidal ...
