Nobody said building a fusion power plant would be easy. Physicists and engineers have been working for decades to crack the problem. But over the last year or so, fusion startup Zap Energy took a ...
Zap Energy built its reputation on a bold promise: a compact fusion reactor that uses sheared flows of ionized gas to confine plasma, skipping the massive superconducting magnets that make rival ...
Standardizing calculations of the helium byproducts generated in advanced fission and fusion energy system materials can increase reactor safety and longevity, according to a study led by University ...
