Superconductors inside magnetic rings will contain the plasma.Credit : Lockheed Martin. Initial work demonstrated the feasibility of building a 100-megawatt reactor measuring seven feet by 10 feet, ...

Defense contractor, Lockheed Martin, announced a design breakthrough in nuclear fusion reactors that would revolutionize energy production on planet Earth. Small enough to fit on the back of a ...

No sooner does the University of Washington announce that it’s working on a breakthrough compact fusion reactor (CFR) than Lockheed Martin says that its Revolutionary Technology Programs unit ...

Lockheed Martin has filed a patent for a revolutionary "Compact Fusion Reactor." If it succeeds where past fusion reactor plans have failed, the technology portends a paradigm shift for humanity ...

The key term here is “compact.” Although nuclear fusion has been studied for decades, Lockheed is hoping to build a reactor small enough to fit on the back of a truck and ship around the globe.

However, Lockheed Martin says it may have a functioning prototype by 2017 and a marketable version by 2022. The new reactor is being developed by the company's secretive Advanced Development ...

Lockheed Martin Says It’s a Decade Away From Compact Nuclear Fusion. Here’s Why You Should Be Skeptical. The giant defense contractor promises smaller, more efficient reactors.

Lockheed Martin, the US government's largest contractor, says it has made a technological breakthrough in nuclear fusion power. The breakthrough will apparently allow Lockheed to build a 100 ...

Lockheed just promised to, essentially, change the world in ten years with nuclear fusion. Here's how. ... Work on fusion reactors started in the ’50s, ... So Lockheed Martin is making big promises?

Lockheed-Martin, a few years ago, announced that it had designed a small fusion reactor but it’s growing in size and it has yet to produce more energy than is needed to run it.

Under a US$33.7-million Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) contract, Lockheed Martin is developing a next-generation nuclear-reactor-powered spacecraft for the Joint Emergent Technology ...

The Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] Skunk Works® team is working on a new compact fusion reactor (CFR) that can be developed and deployed in as little as ten years. Currently, there are several ...
