France’s WEST tokamak held a fusion plasma for 1,337 seconds at 50 million degrees Celsius, the longest confinement on record
France’s WEST tokamak held a fusion plasma at roughly 50 million degrees Celsius for 1,337 seconds, more than 22 minutes, ...
ITER, set to be the world’s largest experimental fusion reactor, has been delayed yet again. The €25bn megaproject will only switch on in 2034, and start producing energy in 2039. That’s almost a ...
A team of fusion researchers at TAE Technologies, Inc., in the U.S., working with colleagues from the University of California, has developed a new type of fusion technology that the company claims ...
It’s rarely appreciated just how much more complicated nuclear fusion is than nuclear fission. Whereas the latter involves a process that happens all around us without any human involvement, and where ...

Commonwealth Fusion Systems installed the first of 18 magnets in its Sparc tokamak, the next-year demo unit aimed at burning-plasma physics
Commonwealth Fusion Systems has begun assembling its SPARC tokamak by placing the first of 18 toroidal-field magnets into the ...
A recent ITER workshop bringing together almost 50 CEOs and senior scientists from private fusion startups suggests that combining the technologies from magnetic and laser fusion experiments could ...
You undoubtedly saw the impressive news back in December 2022 that using what is called “inertial confinement”, scientists and engineering teams at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) of Lawrence ...
The way scientists think about fusion changed forever in 2022, when what some called the experiment of the century demonstrated for the first time that fusion can be a viable source of clean energy.
ITER, the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, may be the grandest scientific experiment in the world. Initially conceived forty years ago, the project aims to build the largest, most ...
In 2023, energy from nuclear fusion — where two nuclei combine to form a new nucleus and release a ton of energy — became the topic du jour among some very influential people. Just weeks before COP28, ...
A ceremony was held on 3 November to mark the final shipment from China of assemblies for the magnet supporting system of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor fusion machine under ...
