Stardust left behind from the dawn of our solar system has allowed scientists to estimate the Sun took between 10 and 20 million years to form. While there is consensus the Sun formed about 4.6 ...
Today, we know that the sun, along with all other stars, is powered by a reaction called nuclear fusion. If nuclear fusion can be replicated on earth, it could provide virtually limitless clean, safe ...
A star like the Sun is at equilibrium - gravity tends to pull it inwards, and radiation pressure from the nuclear reactions tends to expand it outwards. In other words, the gravitational collapse ...
China's HL-3 tokamak, a leading "artificial sun" device, now features a digital twin system for real-time monitoring.
If we figure out how to harness this effectively and efficiently, this is it. This is the end. This is the solution,” an expert tells us.
Fusion reactors aim to reproduce on Earth what happens in the core of the Sun ... and the reaction doesn’t generate any long-lived radioactive waste. I’m a nuclear engineer who studies ...
