A research team led by Prof. Guo Bin from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has designed and optimized an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) system specifically for ...

Scientists have developed a lightning-fast AI tool called HEAT-ML that can spot hidden “safe zones” inside a fusion reactor where parts are protected from blistering plasma heat. Finding these areas, ...

Oak Ridge National Laboratory is quietly tackling one of fusion energy’s toughest engineering problems: turning raw neutron bombardment into manageable heat. At the center of that effort is a new ...

Nuclear fusion is deemed the next big thing in the field of energy harvesting for humanity, but creating a reactor that can achieve continuous electricity generation has proved to be a massive ...

Engineers in the United Kingdom are racing to build metal shields that can survive conditions similar to the center of the Sun, a prerequisite if fusion power is ever going to move from experiment to ...
