The new material, created by spraying a tantalum coating on stainless steel, can withstand extreme conditions inside fusion reactors. This advancement enables more efficient fusion reactors that are ...

The insides of nuclear fusion reactors are violent and chaotic places. A new cold-spray coating can take the heat and also trap some rogue hydrogen particles at the same time, potentially making for ...

Cold spray coating is a solid‐state deposition process in which fine powders are accelerated to high velocities and directed onto substrates, forming dense, adherent coatings without melting the ...

Engineers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have developed a new technology that promises to make commercial nuclear fusion reactors one step closer to reality. Nuclear fusion is a process that ...
