For decades, companies have looked at word of mouth as one of the most powerful forms of marketing and communications. People trust recommendations from friends, colleagues, industry peers, and [...]

Technica Communications was recently honored with an Award of Distinction in the 32nd Annual Communicator Awards for its Jetson Air, the cold-climate heat pump platform developed by Canadian home [...]

A reactor that uses molten salt as coolant, and in some designs as the fuel carrier. MSRs can operate at high temperatures and low pressures, improving efficiency and potentially reducing complexity.

A fission reactor that runs on fast neutrons instead of thermalized ones. Fast reactors can use recycled fuel and help reduce long-lived nuclear waste by “burning” transuranics.

An advanced fission design that combines TRISO fuel with molten fluoride salt coolant. The salt operates at high temperature and low pressure, enabling efficient heat delivery and strong inherent [...]

A very small nuclear fission reactor (typically 1–20 MW) designed for factory fabrication and rapid deployment. Microreactors can provide resilient, off-grid power for remote communities, [...]

A new class of reactor designs that improve on traditional light-water reactors with features like higher operating temperatures, passive safety, modular construction, and alternative coolants or [...]

Short for tristructural isotropic fuel, TRISO consists of tiny uranium fuel particles encased in layers of ceramic and carbon materials. Each particle acts as its own containment system, able to [...]

A fusion device that also confines plasma with magnetic fields, but uses a twisted, spiral-shaped chamber to maintain stability without the need for electric currents inside the plasma.

A torus, or donut-shaped, fusion device that uses powerful magnetic fields to confine plasma in a circular path. It is the most widely used fusion design.
