China already generates 60% more electricity than the USA in 2018. China plans to double this by 2030. China wants to increase from 3-4% nuclear power for electricity to 10%. This will mean 300 GW of ...

If we want to rely on nuclear fusion to power the world's homes, the first step is making reactors that can run as hot and as long as possible. Now, China's 'artificial sun' reactor – officially ...

Liquid lithium has emerged as a promising material in the development of fusion reactor technologies owing to its unique physicochemical properties. Its low atomic number, excellent heat transfer ...

In this project, Charl Stemmet investigated a new, structured support for catalysts for use in gas-liquid reactors. He used a highly porous solid foam as the support material, having up to 97% open ...

Future fusion reactors could be equipped with liquid metal showers to absorb ten times the amount of heat from high-temperature plasma as current experimental methods. A research group from Japan has ...

Fast neutron reactor systems have the potential to extract 60 times more energy from uranium compared to existing thermal reactors, and they contribute to a significant reduction in the burden of ...
