Developed over 70 years ago, the stellarator has long been ignored in favor of options like tokamak reactors. It might be time for its 'quasiaxisymmetry' to shine. By Andrew Paul Published Apr 5, 2024 ...
The Wendelstein 7-X stellarator in Germany has broken the record for plasma duration in a nuclear fusion reactor. Fusion reactions were sustained at high performance levels for 43 seconds, which is a ...
In an announcement this year, the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics shared a breakthrough from its world class stellarator, Wendelstein 7-X. The stellarator is a nuclear fusion reactor with the ...
Munich-based Proxima Fusion and its partners have published a new peer-reviewed paper presenting Stellaris, the world's first integrated concept for a commercial fusion power plant designed to operate ...

World’s largest stellarator turns ten: How W7-X cracked code for steady fusion plasma
The Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) is the largest and most advanced stellarator in the world, and on its tenth birthday, it’s clear the experiment has graduated from a bold engineering prototype to a running ...
Three companies from opposite sides of the Atlantic have joined forces to build what would be the United Kingdom’s first privately developed fusion power plant. The consortium brings together Type One ...
As the climate crisis worsens and energy needs grow, scientists are racing to unlock a cleaner and safer energy future. Among the most promising solutions is nuclear fusion—an energy source that could ...
As noted in the paper by [P. Helander] et al., the use of permanent magnets can substantially simplify the magnetic-field coils of a stellarator, which are then primarily used for the toroidal ...
A team of physicists and engineers at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory built a twisting fusion reactor known as a stellarator that uses permanent magnets, showcasing a potentially cost-effective ...
National Geographic Explorer Paolo Verzone provides a rare peek inside a stellarator, an experiment that aims to give the world near-limitless clean energy. When in operation, this space inside the ...
A nuclear fusion reactor in Germany has reached world record numbers for runtime. The tokamak dominates fusion research in 2025, but stellarators are making a comeback. A stellarator is still a donut ...
