Kyoto, Japan (SPX) Oct 28, 2016 - This past year saw the commissioning and initial operation of a new large-scale plasma experiment, the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) in Greifswald, Germany. Designed, constructed, and operated by the Max-P
Kyoto, Japan (SPX) Oct 28, 2016 - Magnetic fusion is all about managing the interface between hot plasma and ordinary materials. The strong magnetic field in a tokamak- the vessel used in this fusion approach- is a very effective in
Kyoto, Japan (SPX) Oct 28, 2016 - Researchers at General Atomics (GA) have invented a new kind of gamma ray camera that can image beams of energetic electrons inside ultra-hot fusion plasma. The device is used in ongoing globa
Kyoto, Japan (SPX) Oct 28, 2016 - Researchers working at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility at General Atomics (GA) have created an important new tool for controlling fusion plasmas that are hotter than the sun. Energy and mo
Washington DC (SPX) Oct 28, 2016 - The tokamak is an experimental chamber that holds a gas of energetic charged particles, plasma, for developing energy production from nuclear fusion. Most large tokamaks create the plasma with solen
Junau, Alaska (UPI) Oct 28, 2016 - U.S. advocacy groups, some of which staged high-profile protests against Shell, said Arctic oil and gas should be left out of the nation's energy agenda.
Chicago (AFP) Oct 28, 2016 - Police in the US state of North Dakota arrested oil-pipeline protesters en masse Thursday after a tense standoff and bursts of violence that continued into the night.
Washington (UPI) Oct 28, 2016 - Areas off the New York coast will be open for offshore wind energy bidders, but some area is reserved because of ecological concerns, the U.S. government said.
Abuja, Nigeria (UPI) Oct 28, 2016 - With an eye on the national budget, Nigeria's state oil company said it would work closely with police in an effort to tackle militant threats.
Houston (UPI) Oct 28, 2016 - Baker Hughes said Friday it was too early to offer a comment on rumors of a possible partnership offer from General Electric, the second such effort this year.
Washington DC (SPX) Oct 28, 2016 - For the first time, researchers at West Virginia University (WVU) have directly measured the complicated 3D patterns of flowing plasma as it strikes the walls of fusion and space propulsion devices.
Kyoto, Japan (SPX) Oct 28, 2016 - Plasmas in fusion-energy producing devices are gases heated to millions of degrees that can carry millions of amperes of current. These superhot plasmas must be kept away from material surfaces of t
Houston (UPI) Oct 27, 2016 - The largest independent oil producer in the United States, ConocoPhillips, lost a substantial amount of money last quarter, but said it did better than 2015.
Toyohashi, Japan (SPX) Oct 27, 2016 - Thermoelectric materials, which can directly convert thermal energy into electrical energy (Seebeck effect), can be effectively used for the development of a clean and environmentally compatible pow
