Northwestern University announces a new AI4Energy IIN/Trienens Postdoc fellowship for interdisciplinary research combining AI, nanotechnology, and energy science.
Japan's government program is funding Helical Fusion with $400 million to advance stellarator-based fusion power towards demonstration in the 2030s, focusing on continuous operation and practical engineering milestones.
Research suggests that underground geologic hydrogen could be a valuable zero-carbon fuel source, with estimates of vast reserves and promising findings from mines like Kidd Creek and Bulqizë. However, commercially viable extraction remains a challenge, and further exploration is needed to unlock its potential.
The article explains the z-pinch technique for fusion, where a massive current through plasma creates a magnetic field that compresses it, as employed in magnetic plasma compression research at MIT.
