The inside of the DIII-D fusion vessel. The iridescent hues seen on some tiles lining the vessel come from atoms that can become lodged in the walls during plasma experiments.

The Fusion Puzzle: Why Fusion Walls Are Secretly Hoarding Vital Fuel

A green turtle comes up for air. Like many air-breathing marine megafauna, green turtles optimise their swim depth during migration to minimise the cost of transport, travelling at around three body-depths beneath the surface in order to avoid creating waves whilst maximising horizontal distance travelled (Picture © R.

The Supercritical Transformational Electric Power (STEP) Demo pilot plant — a $169 million, 10-megawatt supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) test facility at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) in San Antonio — has generated electricity for the first time. SwRI collaborated with project lead GTI Energy and GE Vernova, the U.S. Department of Energy/National Energy Technology Laboratory, and several industry participants to develop the STEP Demo project.

Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Power Plant Generates Electricity for the First Time

This electrochromic film’s color and optical properties change when the electric potential goes from 0 to 0.8 to 1.6 volts: Green helps reduce glare, and red enhances thermal insulation.
