Designing predictable nuclear fusion reactors requires highly accurate computer models, yet existing simulations often ...

Canadian startup General Fusion has been working on its unique approach to producing clean energy through nuclear fusion for two decades, and it's now got something major to show for it. The company ...

Nuclear fusion, which operates on the same principle that powers the sun, is expected to become a sustainable energy source for the future. To achieve fusion power generation, it is essential to ...

Five new papers validate key parts of Commonwealth Fusion System’s ARC reactor ...

Scientists have developed a lightning-fast AI tool called HEAT-ML that can spot hidden “safe zones” inside a fusion reactor where parts are protected from blistering plasma heat. Finding these areas, ...

In February, France's WEST nuclear fusion reactor made a big step toward getting clean, star-like energy for everyone. The machine held superheated plasma for 1,337 seconds, or just over 22 minutes.

The interiors of fusion reactors can get seriously chaotic. But for obvious reasons—like extreme temperatures and pressures—researchers aren’t typically able to peek directly inside a reactor. Some ...

Many tokamaks use what is called positive triangularity plasma to produce energy, but past experiments have found that the inverse of this triangularity could be more stable. A new compact tokamak ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: The plasma density barrier is a mathematical limit to the density of plasma that can exist in a tokamak before destabilizing. A new study led by a ...

France has upped the ante in the quest for fusion power by maintaining a plasma reaction for over 22 minutes – a new record. The milestone was reached on February 12 at the Commissariat à l'énergie ...
