Five New Fusion Prospects, Minus the Neutrons

Cars That Think

TAE’s power-plant design would deposit heat in the containment vessel’s walls and convert it to steam to drive a turbine using a conventional thermal-conversion system. In typical magnetic-confinement designs, about 60 percent of the cost of the machine is the cost of the magnets. It’s a superelegant beast,” says Binderbauer. “In
