NAPLIFE: Advancing nuclear fusion with nanotechnology

Dr Tamás Biró and colleagues at the NAPLIFE project aim to improve nuclear fusion using nanotechnology, introducing golden nanorods into nuclear fuel and igniting it with laser pulses

Nuclear fusion has long been discussed for its potential as an abundant source of energy. Yet owing to the immense technological challenges involved, the global rollout of the technology still seems a long way off. Dr Tamás Biró and colleagues at the Nano-Plasmonic Laser Inertial Fusion Experiment (NAPLIFE) project, Wigner Research Centre for Physics, Hungary, believe a solution could be […]
