Thales, a leading firm in advanced technologies worldwide, has made a big leap in the field of nuclear fusion. In collaboration with researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, ...

Engineers at the UK’s STEP (Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production) program have successfully tested ...

For decades, scientists have been working to develop reactors that can achieve fusion to meet the increasing need for clean and limitless energy. The success of such experiments depends on multiple ...

Researchers have found a faster, more accurate way to design magnetic “bottles” that hold plasma for fusion power. Using symmetry theory instead of traditional, slow Newton-based calculations, they ...

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 ...

Magnetic confinement fusion represents a promising avenue for realising sustainable and high‐yield energy production. In these systems, plasma – a highly ionised state of matter – is contained within ...

SAN DIEGO — In a magnetic chamber in San Diego, scientists are recreating what happens naturally on stars. It’s a process called nuclear fusion, the combining of two hydrogen atoms into one creating ...

China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak has quietly rewritten one of fusion’s hardest rules, using subtle three ...

A new research initiative is launching at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility to tackle ...

Germany’s State Alliance for Fusion Research has added Baden-Württemberg as its 7th member, advancing plans for the nation’s ...

Workers wear protective equipment in a cavernous hall that contains industrial equipment. The tokamak hall at Commonwealth Fusion Systems’ fusion energy facility in Devens, Massachusetts, will house ...
