Instead of using solid pellets, the scientists injected deuterium and tritium into foam capsules. The clever bit is that when the laser array shoots at a capsule, the beams cause the capsule to ...

Chantilly-based NearStar Fusion commissioned their new plasma gun side injector experiment on March 15. The event included an explanation of NearStar’s proprietary fusion process, called hypervelocity ...

Scientists completed several successful attempts to fire 28 kilojoules of laser energy at small capsules filled with deuterium and tritium fuel, causing the capsules to implode and produce a plasma ...

A a view from inside the OMEGA target chamber during a direct-drive inertial fusion experiment at the University of Rochester’s Laboratory for Laser Energetics. Scientists fired 28 kilojoules of laser ...
