NIF Ready to Prove Nuclear Fusion Sustainable Recreating the conditions that exist within the Sun has been a long-term desire for physicists, and it would appear that scientists in the US are very close to finally fulfilling this dream. The country's National Ignition Facility (NIF) is, according to officials, operational and ready for action. The device is... 31 March 2009 06:19 GMT Bringing Nuclear Fusion One Step Closer The dream of developing a method of obtaining nuclear fusion has been a long-standing one for physicists, ever since the idea was first proposed. Basically, cold fusion is the opposite process of nuclear fission, the method that is currently used in atomic power plants to produce electricity. These facilities split a... 24 March 2009 05:02 GMT World's First Cold Nuclear Fusion Reactor Demonstrated Last Week Pseudoscience or finally the real thing? Well, that still remains to be seen, but if it indeed works then mankind will be able to generate large amounts of energy at room temperature without worrying about waste or fuel. In the last decades, researchers have been frantically trying to demonstrate that cold fusion is ... 27 May 2008 11:14 GMT
