We're Close To Harnessing Nuclear Fusion
Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 13 Οκτ 2013
Nuclear
fusion is AMAZING. It's set to revolutionize the way we power almost
everything on the planet. And scientists are closer than ever to
achieving a sustained fusion reaction. Trace tells you just how close
these pioneering scientists really are.

How Nuclear Fusion Reactors Work
http://science.howstuffworks.com/fusi...
"Fusion
reactors have been getting a lot of press recently because they offer
some major advantages over other power sources. They will use abundant
sources of fuel, they will not leak radiation above normal background
levels and they will produce less radioactive waste than current fission
reactors."
Nuclear fusion milestone passed at US lab
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-env...
"Researchers
at a US lab have passed a crucial milestone on the way to their
ultimate goal of achieving self-sustaining nuclear fusion."
Fusion power: is it getting any closer?
http://www.theguardian.com/environmen...
"For
decades, scientists have been predicting that, one day, the same
process that powers the sun will give us virtually unlimited cheap,
clean electricity. Are they wrong?"
Why don't we have fusion yet?
http://www.kurzweilai.net/why-dont-we...
"The
dream of igniting a self-sustained fusion reaction with high yields of
energy, a feat likened to creating a miniature star on Earth, is getting
closer to becoming reality, according the authors of a new review
article in the journal Physics of Plasmas."
Laser fusion put on slow burn
http://www.nature.com/news/laser-fusi...
"The
US National Ignition Facility rethinks its strategy on achieving
thermonuclear fusion in the lab, but fails to silence critics."
Progress towards ignition on the National Ignition Facility
http://pop.aip.org/resource/1/phpaen/...
"The
National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory includes a precision laser system now capable of delivering
1.8?MJ at 500 TW of 0.35-?m light to a target. NIF has been operational
since March 2009."
