British engineers are preparing to test the fuel mix that could one day power the largest nuclear fusion experiment in the world, Nature reports. Researchers at the Joint European Torus (JET), a ...

We’ve had nuclear fission reactors in operation all over the world for ages, but nuclear fusion always ... With next month’s JET deuterium-tritium fuel experiments the goal is to see whether ...

"This is because the energy that has been produced in these experiments is significantly ... Unreal footage from inside JET - nuclear fusion in action. One of the main limitations of research ...

The five second JET experiment still consumed more energy to create the fusion conditions than the energy it released, unlike the US team's triumph. But the ability to sustain a fusion reaction ...

The biggest nuclear fusion project in the world — Jet — arrived at Culham in Oxfordshire in 1983, bringing international prestige and hundreds of jobs. The giant machine uses the tokamak ...

At this point the Joint European Torus (JET) reactor holds the world record ... although it won’t begin fusion experiments until the mid-2030s. The idea is that ITER will provide the data ...

Nuclear fusion has ... the Joint European Torus (JET) in the U.K. or the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) in France. This is because the NIF's experiments use a different ...

set a record for the most fusion energy ever released during a single experimental run. Construction on JET’s successor—a huge international experiment known as ITER—is underway in France.

Ramana cites a 1998 article that explained how one aim of laser fusion experiments is to try to develop a hydrogen bomb that doesn’t require a conventional fission bomb to ignite it, potentially ...

US scientists have carried out the first ever nuclear fusion ... used their JET machine to generate around 11 megawatts of energy. That was far more than was generated in the NIF experiment ...

After 70 years of research, experts in California have for the first time proven ignition is possible Physicists are a-buzz over new results from nuclear fusion experiments. But what have they ...

a fusion experiment had produced more energy than the energy used to kick off the reaction. It’s not the first time we’ve heard about fusion progress. There have been decades of headlines ...
