For XRF analysis, fused bead creation via fusion provides a nearly perfect, homogeneous sample representation. This method is ideal for solid samples. Gas and electric fusion machines can be used to ...

A "mega-lab" that will aim to generate nuclear fusion power within just six years has been approved by the Chinese government. Once it's operational, the machine will generate 50 million amps of ...

The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) flagship fusion machine has officially started its fifth scientific campaign, the UK government research organisation announced in a press statement provided by ...

General Fusion announced on Tuesday that it had successfully created plasma, a superheated fourth state of matter required for fusion, inside a prototype reactor. The milestone marks the beginning of ...

Tokamaks are machines that are meant to hold and harness the power of the sun. These fusion machines use powerful magnets to contain a plasma hotter than the sun’s core and push the plasma’s atoms to ...

First Light Fusion says it has taken a major step towards solving one of the major engineering challenges behind the design of an inertial confinement fusion pilot power plant. First Light Fusion's ...

There has been much talk about achieving carbon neutrality and promoting clean energy solutions for over a decade. Yet despite brainstorming sessions and research and development, we have yet to find ...

Start-ups say we’re closer than ever to near-limitless, zero-carbon energy from fusion. When will we get there? DIII-D National Fusion Facility, operated by General Atomics, and Lawrence Livermore ...

In April 2023, we reported on federal efforts to streamline fusion energy regulations. At that time, the Commissioners of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) voted to approve a proposal expected ...

In this article, learn how matrix effects can be lessened during XRF spectrometry.
