| NASA creates nuclear fusion using lattice confinement All they needed with metal hydrogen, and an electron accelerator Researchers at NASA's Glenn Research Center have now demonstrated a method of inducing nuclear fusion without building a massive stellarator or tokamak. In fact, all they needed was a bit of metal, some hydrogen, and an electron accelerator. The team believes that their method, called lattice confinement fusion, could be a potential new power source for deep space missions. Lawrence Forsley, a senior lead experimental physicist for the project said the idea did not use any mythical cold fusion. Forsley stresses this is hot fusion, but "we've come up with a new way of driving it". "This method of fusion offers a potentially reliable source for craft operating in places where solar panels may not be useable, for example. "And of course, what works in space could be used on Earth." https://fudzilla.com/news/51319-nasa...ce-confinement |
