Physicists unravel the process of magnetic flux pumping to advance the development of fusion energy

There may be a solution to the occasional sawtooth swings that occasionally disrupt the power output of current thermonuclear fusion reactors. In an article in News Wise, researchers were able to create detailed simulations of magnetic flux pumping, a process that can maintain the stability of plasma despite disruptive external effects. A sawtooth swing is […]

Lockheed Martin’s “truck-sized” fusion reactor for unlimited energy turns out to actually be 100 times larger than originally claimed … but will it work?

The world’s largest defense contractor is experiencing some major hiccups with a new project it’s been working on that, should it be a success, could solve the world’s energy crisis. A nuclear fission reactor that Lockheed Martin had earlier announced would weigh only 20 tons and be small enough to fit inside the back of […]
