Get Ready for the Stellarator Showdown

Cars That Think

For decades, nuclear fusion the reaction that powers the sunhas been the ultimate energy dream. Fusion requires temperatures hotter than the suns core and a mastery of plasmathe superheated gas in which atoms that have been stripped of their electrons collide, their nuclei fusing. But the challenge is huge.

Nuclear Fusion’s New Idea: An Off-the-Shelf Stellarator

Cars That Think

The PPPL team invented this nuclear-fusion reactor, completed last year, using mainly off-the-shelf components. Jayme Thornton PPPL researchers say their simpler machine demonstrates a way to build stellarators far more cheaply and quickly, allowing researchers to easily test new concepts for future fusion power plants.
