The first descendant Nexon While I still enjoy The First Descendant, collecting characters and weapons, leveling them up, prestige them and pushing them further, there is one farm for collecting more expensive characters and weapons that isn’t necessarily difficult, it’s just deep, deep annoying. That’s when you need Abyssal Void Fusion Reactor parts. This process … Read more
Enlarge / One of the reactor components during a leak test. On Tuesday, the people running the experimental fusion reactor ITER announced that a combination of delays and shifting priorities meant the first hardware of its kind wouldn’t see plasma until 2036, while full power from deuterium-tritium fusion was pushed back to 2039. The latter … Read more
Nuclear fusion is one of the most powerful reactions known to man. It is the process that powers the sun and stars and results in high energy output. However, realizing nuclear fusion in laboratory environments is quite a challenge, as it requires extreme temperature and pressure conditions. A new study reveals a more practical alternative … Read more
New research shows that plasma fusion heat spreads more evenly in tokamak reactors, a milestone in the field of fusion energy. This suggests new ways to improve reactor efficiency and overall service life while reducing the chance of damage. The new findings from researchers at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory … Read more
This still image from a new simulation shows how plasma from the pedestal region is connected to the divertor plasma region via the so-called final confinement surface. The long and thin lobes fluctuate in time and space.

Recent research has shown that a photon’s polarization is a topological property that remains constant across environments, an insight that could advance fusion research by improving the design of light beams used in plasma heating. Credit: SciTechDaily New studies show photon polarization is constant across environments and may be improving plasma heating methods for the … Read more
