Nuclear Fusion Breakthrough - this time from USA A US nuclear fusion startup claims a new study confirms its technology produces stable thermal plasmas - an essential step toward scalable energy gains. "According to researchers, the findings provide the strongest validation yet that Zap’s sheared-flow-stabilized Z pinch approach is on track for higher fusion yields" “Essentially, this measurement indicates that the plasma is in a thermodynamic equilibrium. That means we can double the size of the plasma and expect the same sort of equilibrium to exist,” said Uri Shumlak, Zap’s Chief Scientist and Co-Founder
