The initiative, called ICONIC-FL (International Cooperation on Next-gen Inertial Confinement Fusion Lasers), aims to target ...

GAITHERSBURG, Md., Nov. 25 (UPI) -- Researchers must integrate dozens of computer codes to simulate the components of a nuclear fusion reaction, as well as update supercomputer hardware, in order to ...

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — High-gain nuclear fusion could be achieved in a preheated cylindrical container immersed in strong magnetic fields, according to a series of computer simulations performed at ...

In the beginning, there was the thermonuclear bomb - mankind had harnessed the energy of the Sun. Confident predictions abounded that fusion reactors would be providing power "too cheap to meter" ...

A team of scientists may have cracked the code for self-sustaining nuclear fusion reactors that actually produce more electricity than they consume — an amazing accomplishment, at least in theory. In ...

The simulations show the release of output energy that was, remarkably, many times greater than the energy fed into the container’s liner. The method appears to be 50 times more efficient than using X ...

The EU Commission is providing 2.14 million euros in funding to take the GENE simulation code developed at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) to a new level. By using exascale ...

Evaluation of Net Power Polywell fusion designs by Joel Rogers. The simulation is not showing closing the cusps (corners of the fields), which means more energy loss. This is a critical aspect of a ...

A computer simulation that shows a release of high-yield fusion energy much greater than previously achieved at Sandia's Z accelerator is being prepared for testing in 2013. High-gain nuclear fusion ...
