While Stark's mini fusion reactor was small enough to hold in his hand, the real-world CFS version will be closer to the size of a warehouse. No superhero suit included (yet). A cutaway render of ...
A device called the Wendelstein 7-X, or W7-X for short, has made this possible. In a fusionreactor, hydrogen must be superheated into plasma, but that’s a real problem because, as plasma ...
TAE Technologies’ approach is to use boron-11 and hydrogen instead of deuterium-tritium (two isotopes of hydrogen), which is the more common fuel for current fusionreactors, because it is the ...
Fusion on the other hand does not create any long-lived radioactive nuclear waste. A fusionreactor produces helium, which is an inert gas. It also produces and consumes tritium within the plant ...
The decommissioning of a "world-leading" nuclear fusionreactor has begun after 40 years of operation. The Joint European Torus (JET) facility in Culham, Oxfordshire, ended experiments in December ...
