Sentences with phrase «make nuclear fusion»

One source of raw material to make nuclear fusion is helium - 3.

All we have to do is make nuclear fusion work — and that, as they say, is left as an exercise for the students.

Not exact matches

Whatever Martin and Stan had found and made public was not a cold version of «hot fusion», the kind familiar to nuclear physicists.

Lockheed Martin Corp said on Wednesday it had made a technological breakthrough in developing a power source based on nuclear fusion, and the first reactors, small enough to fit on the back of a truck, could be ready in a decade.

A brown dwarf is essentially a failed star, having formed the way stars do through the gravitational collapse of a cloud of gas and dust, but without gaining enough mass to spark the nuclear fusion reactions that make stars shine.

The Homestake experiment detects the high - energy neutrinos that are produced by two minor branches of the «proton - proton chain», the process of nuclear fusion in which sets of four protons combine to make nuclei of helium - 4.

Long before descending into scientific infamy, Hoyle made what should have been a lasting contribution with a 1954 Astrophysical Journal paper laying out a process by which stars heavier than 10 suns would burn hydrogen and helium at their cores into heavier elements through a progressively hotter series of nuclear fusion reactions.

Researchers from the US and China have made progress in their joint collaboration on the use of lithium to control plasma within experimental nuclear fusion reactors.

JI: So the nuclear fusion in stars can only make the elements up to iron.

If we could develop smaller more localised nuclear plants or, better yet, fund the Bussard fusion development, dropping line losses would easily make up for incandescents (and would also allow for electric cars.)

Nuclear fusion makes use of the same energy source that fuels stars, including our sun.

Today, most alternative energy technologies that are discussed — wind, solar, tides, waves, clean coal, nuclear fission and, perhaps one day, fusion — are useful only for making electricity.

I'm a nuclear engineer, so the whole building - up - atoms - by - fusion makes sense to me.

6) More research funding into improved nuclear energy makes lots of sense (fast breeder, thorium, nuclear fusion, etc.) 7) Preparation for natural weather disasters and adaptation to whatever climate Nature (or anyone else) throws at us both make imminent sense, as our hostess has stressed.

Thus it makes pragmatic sense to me to focus our attention on a medium term adaption policy, whilst investing heavily in cleaner cheap sources of baseload energy, such as thorium fission and gen4 fission reactors and, in the slightly longer term, nuclear fusion reactors.

Either breeders or fusion is needed to make nuclear a really long term alternative.
