To quote from techcrunch.com: &#8222;`This is an incredibly rewarding milestone and an apt tribute to the vision of my late mentor, Norman Rostoker,\u2019 said TAE\u2019s current chief executive officer, Michl Binderbauer, in a statement announcing the company\u2019s achievement. `Norman and I wrote a paper in the 1990s theorizing that a certain plasma dominated by highly energetic particles [perhaps a hydrogen-boron plasma\u2014ed.] should become increasingly better confined and stable as temperatures increase. We have now been able to demonstrate this plasma behavior with overwhelming evidence. It is a powerful validation of our work over the last three decades, and a very critical milestone for TAE that proves the laws of physics are on our side.&#8220;<br>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 &#8222;Self-stabilizing plasmas&#8220; were goals that the Fusion Energy Foundation, during the 1970s and 1980s, consistently described and urged fusion researchers to be striving for.  {The article is linked <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2021\/04\/08\/claiming-a-landmark-in-fusion-energy-tae-technologies-sees-commercialization-by-2030\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2021\/04\/08\/claiming-a-landmark-in-fusion-energy-tae-technologies-sees-commercialization-by-2030\/\">here<\/a>.}<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tri-Alpha Energy Claims Plasma Breakthrough, Stabilizes With Higher Temperature April 12 (EIRNS) \u2013 Many privately-funded fusion power experimenters are making noted progress in the absence of much government support to U.S. fusion R&amp;D; one of them said in an April 8 release that it had been able to produce stable plasma at temperatures over 50 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":37,"featured_media":72172,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[520,1,505,700],"tags":[842],"class_list":["post-72169","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-updates-development","category-allgemein","category-updates","category-power-energy","tag-lang-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72169","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/37"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72169"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72169\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":72170,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72169\/revisions\/72170"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72172"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72169"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72169"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/2.schillermeet.de\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72169"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
