Nuclear fusion is just 10 years away.

Now where have I heard THAT one before?

First-ever liquid carbon created with lasers to boost fusion research

Given its exceptionally high melting point, liquid carbon is seen as a crucial component for future #NuclearFusion plants

Hopefully this would mitigate the petroleum land-grab wars, which has been every war from WWI forward.

"Canada Just Fired Up the Future of Energy!

General Fusion has set a new world record — generating 600 million neutrons per second in a breakthrough for Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF)!

Their revolutionary tech?

Plasma is injected into a spinning sphere of liquid metal and compressed using steam-powered pistons to mimic the sun’s core.

This creates extreme conditions: over 100 million °C and powerful plasma confinement — proving fusion energy is closer than ever.

With the Lawson Machine 26 (LM26) aiming for breakeven by 2026, Canada is fast-tracking a future of clean, limitless, zero-carbon power.

Fusion isn’t coming. It’s here."

#Zoomposium with Prof. Dr. #Thomas #Klinger: “The sun on earth - #nuclearfusion as an #energy source”

This time we talk with Thomas Klinger, who has been a “Scientific Member” of the #MaxPlanckSociety since 2001 and is Director of the “#Stellarator #Dynamics and #Transport” division at the Institute for #PlasmaPhysics in Greifswald. There he heads the highly successful #Wendelstein7X project.

As long as you're happy waiting 50 years before the journey time is cut by half (I'm sceptical)

'Startup Says Its Nuclear Fusion Rocket Could Cut Time to Mars in Half'

https://futurism.com/nuclear-fusion-rocket-cut-time-mars-half

'The firm is hoping to achieve fusion in orbit for the first time in 2027, a moonshot plan that could put far-flung destinations in our solar system within much easier reach — if everything goes perfectly according to plan, at least.'
