Podcasts about Nuclear fusion

I have long said that if a little kid can master something or break a record it must not have been that hard. Well, a 12-year-old just did something that Katie says burns that theory to the ground.

Wellington-based start-up OpenStar is looking to make changes in the world of clean energy, and they've gotten financial support from the Government. They've successfully levitated a half tonne superconducting magnet, confining a cloud of ultra-hot plasma - which will help ultimately produce carbon-free energy. OpenStar Technologies CEO Dr Ratu Mataira joined the Afternoons team to explain further. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Wellington tech-start-up is competing with some of the brightest minds in the world to figure out how to replicate the power of the sun for energy production. Openstar founder Ratu Mataira spoke to Corin Dann.

Kiwi company OpenStar Technologies has taken a serious step forward in the global race towards nuclear fusion. Backed by $35 million in government funding, they've successfully levitated a half tonne superconducting magnet, confining a cloud of ultra-hot plasma. It's a key milestone in recreating the same process that powers the sun – ultimately producing carbon-free energy. CEO Dr Ratu Mataira told Mike Hosking now they've proven the engineering can be done, it's time to push for performance and see just how hot they can get the plasma. He believes they'll definitely be able to reach nuclear fusion within his lifetime. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gundua tofauti za kimsingi kati ya mpasuko wa nyuklia (fission) na muungano wa nyuklia (fusion) katika uchambuzi huu mfupi wa kisayansi. Tunafafanua jinsi mpasuko unavyogawanya atomi kuendesha mitambo ya sasa, ukilinganishwa na muungano unaoiga jinsi Jua linavyofanya kazi kwa kuunganisha atomi. Tazama video hii ili uelewe ni kwa nini muungano wa nyuklia unatazamwa kama 'suluhisho kuu' la nishati safi ukilinganisha na hatari za mionzi za teknolojia ya sasa.

The promise of fusion is enormous: clean, reliable energy at a scale that could change everything from climate outcomes to global prosperity. But how close are we? And what's still standing between today's breakthroughs and tomorrow's power plants? Bob Mumgaard, co-founder and CEO of Commonwealth Fusion Systems, joins Rapid Response to explain why fusion is different from fission, what recent advances have unlocked, and what the race to industrialize fusion will require. And with Trump Media making an unexpected recent entry into the fusion arena, the push toward a tipping point is getting even more urgent.Visit the Rapid Response website here: https://www.rapidresponseshow.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The annual inflation rate in the United States slowed sharply to 2.7 percent in November, suggesting price pressures are cooling even as tariff-related costs continue to filter through the economy.Trump Media & Technology Group will merge with a nuclear fusion power company in an all-stock deal that the companies said on Thursday is valued at more than $6 billion.

Is nuclear fusion the clean energy we need? Oz speaks with Commonwealth Fusion Systems' scientist and engineer Alex Creely and fashion designer Gabriela Hearst about why the public should get excited about nuclear fusion. Together, they discuss what it will take to commercialize fusion, how Gabriela’s 2022 fashion show changed the public conversation, and whether we’ll have nuclear fusion by 2030.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Carrie von Muench is the COO and Co-Founder of Pacific Fusion, a company building the first pulsed-magnetic fusion system designed for net facility gain. Fusion has long promised limitless, carbon-free, dispatchable power, but only recently have breakthroughs—from ignition at the National Ignition Facility to major advances at Sandia and new high-efficiency pulse-power technology—shifted fusion from scientific aspiration to solvable engineering challenge.The Pacific Fusion founding team came together after these 2022 milestones revealed a credible, engineering-driven path to fusion energy. Backed by a landmark $900M Series A led by General Catalyst, the company is developing a highly modular system that can be mass-manufactured using accessible materials and domestically sourced supply chains. In this episode, Carrie explains why these breakthroughs matter, how the modular pulsar architecture works, why New Mexico became home for the world's largest pulse-power facility, and how fusion could reshape global energy, industry, and security.

Nuclear fusion still has a long road ahead before commercial viability, but optimism — and funding — is on the rise. Surging interest in the technology has recently seen $7.1 billion raised across 50 global fusion startups. Research timelines appear to be accelerating, Steve Piper, director of energy research at S&P Global Commodity Insights, said on the podcast. Big Tech is well represented in the investor base due to growing energy demand from datacenters. Francesco Sciortino, CEO of fusion startup Proxima Fusion, said investors are looking to secure a stake in the market now. "Fusion is not something to tiptoe into," he said on the podcast.

For a long time, nuclear fusion was viewed as a powerful, but unachievable, energy source, because the technological challenges were just too great. But recent advances, particularly in the development of powerful magnets, have reignited the race to create the world's first efficient nuclear fusion powerplant. Claire Concannon visits one private company just outside Wellington who have joined the nuclear fusion effort, with a unique approach they believe might be the key.

In this episode of Hardware to Save a Planet, host Dylan Garrett talks with Scott Mercer, Founder and CEO of Focused Energy, about the future of nuclear fusion. They explore how laser-driven fusion, inspired by breakthroughs at Lawrence Livermore Labs, could offer limitless clean power by the 2030s. From physics to commercialization, Mercer shares how Focused Energy plans to bring fusion to the grid—and why this could be a game-changer for climate tech and global energy.

Tonight we explore nuclear fusion as a reaction (the fusion of atom nuclei) and as a possible source of power. I tell you about the differences with fission, the fundamental forces that hold atoms together, why fusion of light nuclei liberates energy, what plasma is, how man-made fusion devices like tokamaks work, and many other things.
