Chinese Scientists Produce 'Impossible' Steel to Line Nuclear Fusion Reactors in Major Breakthrough

Chinese Scientists Produce 'Impossible' Steel to Line Nuclear Fusion Reactors in Major Breakthrough

China has forged a type of steel that can withstand the extremely low temperatures and magnetic fields needed to sustain nuclear fusion reactions. Creating such a material with steel is a feat previously thought impossible by experts working on the famous ITER project in France, of which the leader of this new steel project was […] The post Chinese Scientists Produce ‘Impossible’ Steel to Line Nuclear Fusion Reactors in Major Breakthrough appear…

Scientists Have Developed ‘Super Steel’ That Could Take Fusion To The Next Level

The physics of fusion energy is no longer the great unknown. Scientists are confident that if you confine superheated plasma at nearly 100 million °C using heavy hydrogen isotopes, you’ll get a self-sustaining reaction capable of delivering abundant, clean power. The real challenge now lies elsewhere: finding materials that can survive the extreme demands inside […] The post Scientists Have Developed ‘Super Steel’ That Could Take Fusion To The N…
