U.S. nuclear fusion startup draws investment from Itochu, SoftBank​

Blue Laser Fusion advances R&D with eye on commercial viability in 2030

The U.S. startup Blue Laser Fusion was founded by Shuji Nakamura, who won the 2014 Nobel Prize in physics for the development of the blue light-emitting diode.

PALO ALTO, California/TOKYO -- Trading house Itochu and telecom company SoftBank are investing in Blue Laser Fusion, a nuclear fusion startup in the U.S. headed by a Japanese Nobel Prize winner in physics that is developing a method for stable power generation using proprietary laser technology.

The two high-profile companies are the first strategic investors from the Japanese private sector in BLF, which aims to make the technology commercially viable around 2030.

Scientists successfully replicate historic nuclear fusion breakthrough three times​

Scientists in California shooting nearly 200 lasers at a cylinder holding a fuel capsule the size of a peppercorn have taken another step in the quest for fusion energy, which, if mastered, could provide the world with a near-limitless source of clean power.

Last year on a December morning, scientists at the National Ignition Facility at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California (LLNL) managed, in a world first, to produce a nuclear fusion reaction that released more energy than it used, in a process called “ignition.”

Now they say they have successfully replicated ignition at least three times this year, according to a December report from the LLNL. This marks another significant step in what could one day be an important solution to the global climate crisis, driven primarily by the burning of fossil fuels.

Honda-backed Israeli startup to use nuclear fusion to power EVs​

NT-Tao plans demonstration facilities by 2029, commercialization in the 2030s

NT-Tao is working to develop fusion stations small enough to fit into a cargo container yet powerful enough to generate 10,000 to 20,000 kilowatts of electricity.

RYOSUKE HANAFUSA, Nikkei staff writerJanuary 9, 2024 17:51 JST



HOUSTON, U.S. -- A nuclear fusion startup backed by Honda Motor plans to use mini fusion power generation facilities as charging stations for electric vehicles, signaling how development of the long-hoped-for energy source is accelerating.
Israeli startup NT-Tao will manufacture demonstration facilities by 2029 and aims to commercialize them in the 2030s.

China LK-99 may open door to another innovation magnetism


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LK-99#:~:text=By mid-August 2023, the,by a materials science lab.



On 31 July 2023, Sinéad Griffin of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory analyzed LK-99 with density functional theory (DFT), showing that its structure would have correlated isolated flat bands, and suggesting this might contribute to superconductivity.[30] However, while other researchers agreed with the DFT analysis, a number suggested that this was not compatible with superconductivity, and that a structure different from what was described in Lee, et al. would be necessary.[31]

Analyses by industrial and experimental physicists noted experimental and theoretical shortcomings of the published works.[32] Shortcomings included the lack of phase diagrams[29] spanning temperature, stoichiometry,[33] and stress; the lack of pathways for the very high Tc of LK-99 compared to prior heavy fermion superconductors; the absence of flux pinning in any observations; the possibility of stochastic conductive artifacts[34] in conductivity measurements; the high resistance and low current capacity of the alleged superconducting state; and the lack of direct transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of the materials.

That is a good one, King Fook Sr

I wish u good health and financial being and let review in Apr 2034 bah. ENJOY the great ride ahead. Have fun, cheers

Dear K1976,
10 years is a long time for us seniors.
Even tomorrow is not promised to anyone.
May you be well and happy.

I think the Thais will be rejected.
Land of prostitutes have no independence, honour nor principles, the very reason for BRICS existence.
They even help zionazis in their genocide.

 

[KingFook Sr]

Unless u want to join Afghanistan, Iran and N Korea loh

One Jiuhu come over to steal eat, already cannot tahan liao

Be careful when you 'smear' Jiuhu ....
The son of one Jiuhu Kia is going to be your PM on 15th May 2024.

Regardless.
Now Sri Lanka is the latest applicant to join BRICS.

 

[Rogue Trader]

Thailand's economy has nothing significant enough to offer Brics alliance. Imagine even France got rejected.

The only chance is if they become a major economy in ASEAN which means they go ahead with the Kra Canal project.

Sinkapore can join. We got the world best washing machines. Still can offer 2 mRNA cucks to sell vaccines

Bricks nations outgrowing G7.

allied nations have their shrinking populations to deal with in the first place. So the depopulation plan is really to shrink asia and other parts of the world. Otherwise G7 can go fuck spider. The whole European empire is premised on the legacy of colonialism. Covid is the latest attempt at colonising the world’s resources. What do you think Gates was doing buying up land and driving up inflation rates?
