For decades, fusion energy has been an impossible-seeming solution to our energy problems. But creating fusion energy, and doing so without radioactive fuel elements has seemed to many too good to be ...

The dream of controlled nuclear fusion—the process that powers the Sun and other stars, and which promises to revolutionize society by putting almost infinite reserves of clean energy at our ...

Recent reports from scientists pursuing a new kind of nuclear fusion technology are encouraging, but we are still some distance away from the “holy grail of clean energy”. The technology developed by ...

Nuclear fusion has been achieved using a new projectile technique that accelerates fuel to 200 times the speed of sound. First Light Fusion, a UK based start-up, used a hyper-velocity gas gun to ...

Technology to perform prostate biopsies has been relatively unchanged since the 1980's. Traditional techniques only sample the lower portion of the prostate, yet nearly 30 percent of cancers are ...

Working with two magnetic fields and a laser, all at low points of their power outputs, Sandia's Z machine has released neutrons in an amount surprisingly close to 'break-even' fusion. Researchers at ...

Image fusion has emerged as a pivotal technology in digital image processing by integrating complementary information from multiple imaging modalities to generate a composite image with enhanced ...

Fusion offers the potential of near limitless energy by heating a gas trapped in a magnetic field to incredibly high temperatures where atoms are so energetic that they fuse together when they collide ...

One of the more common surgical interventions for people with a certain severity of low back pain is called an intervertebral (spinal) fusion. According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons: ...
