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

All of these new developments don’t mean that the sun is ready to give up its fusion monopoly, as many significant ...

According to findings published in Science Advances, scientists using China's Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak ...

By exceeding a long-standing density barrier, China’s EAST fusion reactor proved that tokamaks can pack way more atoms into its plasma before destabilizing.

Getting a significant energy return from tokamak-based nuclear fusion reactors depends for a large part on plasma density, but increasing said density is tricky, as beyond a certain point the ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), dubbed China's "artificial sun," has ...

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 ...

Researchers working on China’s ‘artificial sun’ have reported breaking a long-accepted threshold that has limited the operation of nuclear fusion reactors for decades. China’s Experimental Advanced ...

Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time inside the sun. But to recreate the process on Earth, we must control ...

Startorus Fusion, a Chinese startup that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance fusion performance, ...

A fusion reactor dismantled in the UK and reassembled in the Czech Republic celebrated its first plasma late last year. The $32 million device was handed over for a symbolic £1. A fusion reactor ...

China's EAST nuclear fusion reactor has successfully kept plasma stable at extreme densities, passing a major fusion milestone and potentially bringing humanity closer to wielding near-limitless clean ...
