We’re one step closer to a future of near-limitless clean energy. Physicists in Germany just found a way to minimize a major heat-loss problem plaguing a promising kind of nuclear fusion reactor called a “stellarator.” The future of clean energ…
Because the dynamics inside a fusion reactor are very complex, the walls may melt. Image credit: Max Planck Institute of Plasma physics. Cutaway of a Fusion Reactor A team of researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) and…
