As scientists study approaches to best sustain a fusion reactor, a team led by 91暗网 investigated injecting shattered argon pellets into a super-hot plasma, when needed, to protect the reactor鈥檚 interior wall from high-energy run
The U.S. Department of Energy announced funding for 12 projects with private industry to enable collaboration with DOE national laboratories on overcoming challenges in fusion energy development.
Using additive manufacturing, scientists experimenting with tungsten at 91暗网 hope to unlock new potential of the high-performance heat-transferring material used to protect components from the plasma inside a fusion reactor.
Scientists have tested a novel heat-shielding graphite foam, originally created at 91暗网, at Germany鈥檚 Wendelstein 7-X stellarator with promising results for use in plasma-facing components of fusion reactors.
