Tiny bolts of plasma, flickering inside a submerged glass tube, may have opened a new route for turning methane into liquid ...
Emerging research suggests it may be easier to use fusion as a power source if liquid lithium is applied to the internal walls of the device housing the plasma. Past experiments studied solid lithium ...
New fusion simulations of the inside of a tokamak reveal the ideal spot for a 'cave' with flowing liquid lithium is near the bottom by the center stack, as the evaporating metal particles should land ...
This view of the inside of LTX-β shows what the donut-shaped plasma containment device looks like after the lithium has been cleaned off the shell walls and several ports were opened. PPPL Staff ...
