🇪🇸 #Sevilla 📆 Jan 22, 2025 : An achievement that takes us closer to generating #clean and #limitless #energy 🔋using #NuclearFusion. Negative triangularity can help reduce damage to the #tokamak wall, which is a concern in fusion reactors. https://interestingengineering.com/energy/smart-fusion-reactor-first-plasma

🇫🇷 #Cadarache 📆 Feb 19, 2025 Nuclear fusion world record for plasma duration https://phys.org/news/2025-02-nuclear-fusion-west-machine-world.html

Electric propulsion systems are not #energy limited. An arbitrarily large amount of energy can be delivered (from a #solar ☀️ or #nuclear ☢️ power system) to a given mass of propellant so that the exhaust velocity (or specific impulse) can be much larger than that available from a #chemical propulsion system. Electric propulsion systems are termed " #power 🔋 limited" https://sci.esa.int/web/smart-1/-/34201-electric-spacecraft-propulsion?section=electric-versus-chemical-propulsion
