On March 7, Japan's Large Helical Device completes its first deuterium plasma experiment, marking the first fusion in a stellarator device. [53] 2018. Energy corporation Eni announces a $50 million investment in start-up Commonwealth Fusion Systems, to commercialize ARC technology via the SPARC test reactor in collaboration with MIT. [54] [55] [56]
Various authors have also put forth ways to organize all the fusion approaches that have been tested over the past 70+ years. This flow chart above groups the approaches into color coded families, these are: the Pinch Family (orange), The Mirror Family (red), Cusp Systems (violet), Tokamaks & Stellarators (Green), Plasma Structures (gray), Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (dark yellow ...

Running the numbers before the first 2.2 MJ fusion test, NIF scientists projected the energy yield could hit around 10 MJ, three times more than the previous year’s shot had produced—assuming ...
Fusion began. “This had all happened before. One hundred times before,” said Marvin Adams, the National Nuclear Security Administration’s deputy administrator for defense programs. “But ...
Over the last 70 years, there have been several failed attempts to recreate and control the ongoing nuclear fusion reactions that power the sun. Several projects that seemed promising had to be ...
By 20 minutes, the universe is no longer hot enough for nuclear fusion, but far too hot for neutral atoms to exist or photons to travel far. It is therefore an opaque plasma. The recombination epoch begins at around 18,000 years, as electrons are combining with helium nuclei to form He +.
This urged the Soviet Union to start a nuclear weapons program. 1942 – July – The Heereswaffenamt (HWA, Army Ordnance Office) relinquishes control of the German nuclear energy project to the Reichsforschungsrat (RFR, Reich Research Council), essentially making it only a research project with objectives far short of making a weapon.
