☆ The internet just went on a wild quest that could result in floating trains and cheap EVs
  + stars: | 2023-08-11 | by ( Hasan Chowdhury | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +8 min
The internet went wild over claims scientists discovered a room-temperature superconductor. Here's how a room-temperature superconductor could change everything:Revolutionize the medical industryMRI machines currently depend on liquid helium coolant to keep cool enough to operate. A room-temperature superconductor would go a step further in helping create these fields under normal conditions. With room-temperature superconductors, EV makers might be able to take a closer step towards delivering cheap battery-run cars. This is where room-temperature superconductors could one day step in.

☆ US scientists repeat fusion power breakthrough, Financial Times reports
  + stars: | 2023-08-06 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
Researchers at the federal Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California repeated the breakthrough in an experiment on July 30 that produced a higher energy output than in December, the newspaper said, citing people with knowledge of the results. The same lab achieved a net energy gain in a fusion experiment using lasers on Dec. 5, 2022. The scientists focused a laser on a target of fuel to fuse two light atoms into a denser one, releasing the energy. The laboratory confirmed to the FT that energy gain had been achieved again at its laser facility, adding that analysis of the results was underway. The Lawrence Livermore National Lab and the U.S. Energy Department did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment.

☆ Fusion Industry Suddenly White-Hot After U.S. Lab Breakthrough

The target chamber of the facility where 192 laser beams delivered the energy to create fusion ignition. Michl Binderbauer is chief executive of a southern California firm that aims to create almost limitless energy through nuclear fusion, a starry goal that at times struck some prospective investors as futuristic. That all changed this week.
☆ Nuclear fusion breakthrough: Scientists generate more power than used to create reaction
  + stars: | 2022-12-13 | by ( Catherine Clifford | In Catclifford | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +9 min
Fusion is the way that the sun makes power, but recreating a useful fusion reaction here on earth has eluded scientists for decades. The National Ignition Facility target chamber at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is where scientists shoot lasers and watch and measure what happens when those lasers collide on a fuel source. Reaching ignition means the fusion experiment produced more energy from fusion than the laser energy that used to drive the reaction. "For the first time on Earth, scientists have confirmed a fusion energy experiment released more power than it takes to initiate, proving the physical basis for fusion energy. But it's proven extremely challenging to sustain a fusion reaction here on earth, and scientists have been trying for decades.
☆ US scientists reach long-awaited nuclear fusion breakthrough, source says
  + stars: | 2022-12-12 | by ( Ella Nilsen René Marsh | Ella Nilsen | René Marsh | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
Researchers for decades have attempted to recreate nuclear fusion – replicating the fusion that powers the sun. Nuclear fusion happens when two or more atoms are fused into one larger one, a process that generates a massive amount of energy as heat. Scientists across the globe have been inching toward the breakthrough, using different methods to try to achieve the same goal. This heat can then be used to warm water, create steam and power turbines to generate power. “The opposing argument is that this result is miles away from actual energy gain required for the production of electricity,” he said.
