Fusion systems of the stellarator type promise high-performance plasmas in continuous operation. Accordingly, heat and particles from the hot plasma permanently stress the vessel walls. It is the task ...

The Plasma Physics Team is devoted to the study of controlled magnetic confinement fusion. The team, based mainly on the Institute of Fusion Science (IFS), has signed a collaborative agreement in year ...

The world’s largest stellarator fusion power design project has received new funding, according to a report. Backed by Bill Gates, Type One Energy recently raised $87 million. The startup aims to ...

United States-based Type One Energy has announced the publication of what it calls the world’s first comprehensive, self-consistent, and robust physics basis, with conservative design margins for a ...

The Princeton Plasma Physics Lab (PPPL) will phase out construction of the National Compact Stellarator Experiment (NCSX) and instead ensure the lab's future as a world-leading center of fusion energy ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Thales, a leading firm in advanced technologies worldwide, has made a big leap in the field of nuclear fusion. In collaboration ...

In the three-year project, starting in 2011, scientists from the fusion institutes at Princeton, Oak Ridge and Los Alamos are contributing auxiliary magnetic coils, measuring instruments and planning ...

Scientists in Germany began an experiment which (they hope) will bring us closer to the dream of nuclear fusion power—a safer, cleaner form of nuclear energy. Nuclear fusion is, after all, what powers ...

The Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) in Greifswald and the U.S. University of Wisconsin-Madison have founded a joint research project to investigate the power exhaust from a hot ...
