WEST (Credit: CEA-IRFM). A new record in fusion has been achieved using a device internally clad in tungsten, a development that could set the pace for helping make fusion energy viable at the commercial scale. Princeton
Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) facility, reports that the device was able to sustain hot fusion plasma nearing temperatures of 50 million degrees Celsius for a record-breaking six minutes. Relying on 1.15 gigajoules of power, the latest achievement saw a 15% increase in energy, as well as twice the density of previous experiments. The new milestone was set using...

LENR in a Can Near instant transmutation of Tungsten using Ohmasa Gas Bob W. Greenyer B. Eng. (Hons.) Director – Martin Fleischmann Memorial Project m.fleischmann.memorial@gmail.com ---------------------------------------- Abstract: In the 1910s Irving Langmuir observed large volumes of gas produced in his bulbs during the development of the Tungsten filament lightbulb. In
the 1980s, David Hudson saw two thumb sized electrodes disappear in a flash in an electric arc furnace with the emission of radiation that damage glassware. In 1992, Mikhail Solin cited Tungsten as a prime example of a fuel for use in his awarded electric beam coherent nuclear process which...

Researchers at the Gedik Lab at MIT use strong ultrafast laser pulses to stimulate changes in material, followed by a weaker probe laser pulse after some time delay to monitor the changes with femtosecond time resolution. Tungsten
(W) atoms are black, and sulfur (S) atoms are yellow. Credit: Edbert Jarvis Sie ======================================== Monolayer films of tungsten disulfide, just three atoms thick, have unique electronic valleys which can be manipulated with laser light. This finding, by MIT physics graduate student Edbert Jarvis Sie, Associate Professor Nuh Gedik, and colleagues, was significant enough to warrant placement on the cover of Nature Materials...

Inside 3DP ^
| September 4, 2014 | Shanie Phillips
Tungsten is an extremely hard, robust rare metal that has the highest melting point of all the elements, at 3422 °C (6192 °F). It also has a density that is 19.3 times that of water and about 1.7 times that of lead, which makes it comparable to uranium and gold. And
now, a Philips-owned company is 3D printing it. Netherlands-based Smit Röntgen, a medical imaging parts manufacturer, has used Direct Metal Laser Sintering to 3D print tungsten parts. The company began researching the potential of 3D printing tungsten as a business opportunity over a decade ago and announced on Monday...
