A new advancement in powder recycling of C103 niobium alloy paves the way for cost-effective aerospace innovation.

Rocket programs that depend upon completely new technology and that technology has to be scaled in size (millions of newtons of thrust or clusters of 250,000 newton engines) and mass produced by the ...

General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) has successfully tested the nuclear fuel ... through chemical rockets. To be fair, that's nothing to sneer at. Chemical engines put the first ...

That's 4,220 degree Fahrenheit (2,326°C), roughly equivalent to the heat a nuclear rocket engine would reach during a boost maneuver. The tests, carried out at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight ...

“This accelerates the construction of the world’s first fusion power plant and then all our plants to come,” he said in a statement. Nuclear fusion technology, which harnesses the energy ...

Nuclear propulsion could be the future of space travel and NASA and General Atomics just brought us one step closer.

Fusion – generally considered the holy grail of energy – could also enable 'space exploration beyond the solar system', by providing rockets with more powerful propulsion systems.

The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) nuclear fusion reactor maintained a steady, highly confined loop of plasma — the high-energy fourth state of matter — for 1,066 seconds ...

The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) nuclear fusion reactor maintained a steady, highly confined loop of plasma — the high-energy fourth state of matter — for 1,066 seconds on ...

So while ITER continues to face delays, perfecting the science of nuclear fusion continues in haste. Using the Sun To Make Green Hydrogen ...

In a pioneering approach to achieve fusion energy, the SMART device has successfully generated its first tokamak plasma. This step brings the international fusion community closer to achieving ...

The reactor has officially achieved first plasma, and preliminary results have been reported in the journal Nuclear Fusion. The core concept behind nuclear fusion is keeping plasma hot enough for ...
