Remember those "old" cassette players that once represented the center of any car audio system? Well, although they're long gone now (at least from modern vehicles), it would seem that they've served as a model for the device you're about to see as follows, namely the CA-IP500 Head Unit from Fusion, a ... |

The Vulcan laser, currently the most powerful in the world, was used recently to test future nuclear fusion reactor concepts. During the experiments Vulcan was able to heat matter to a temperature of 10 million degrees Celsius, hotter than the surface of the Sun which is averaging about 5,500 degrees Celsius. The rel... |

Stars spend most of their lives burning hydrogen through nuclear fusion reactions to produce the energy required to remain stable as long as possible. By doing so, two hydrogen atoms are fused together to create a single helium atom and a fair amount of energy. However, at some point in time, the star will begin proc... |

Bringing the Sun to Earth, that's what nuclear physicists dream of today. The imminent depletion of fossil fuels, the inefficiency of renewable power sources and dangers posed by the use of nuclear fissionable fuels point to only one future energy-production solution, nuclear fusion. More than two thirds of the ... |

On August 6, 1945, a uranium-based weapon, "Little Boy", was released over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Three days later, a plutonium-based weapon, "Fat Man", was dropped onto the city of Nagasaki. They were the first (and only) nuclear attacks in history.Officially, the first nuclear test - code-named "Trinity" -... |

One step closer to a high-yield fusion reactor: a new, revolutionary electrical circuit should carry enough power to produce the long-sought goal of controlled high-yield nuclear fusion. But wait, there's more: it can do it every 10 seconds. Sandia National Laboratories' Z machine is already the largest pr... |

Plasma is a very hot, ionized gas that conducts electricity and has a main role in the fabric of stars. The principle is simple: if we heat hydrogen ions to the point of ignition, they could fuse into helium and this fusion could be a clean, sustainable and endless energy source. And if the Sun does it, converting 40... |
