All of these new developments don’t mean that the sun is ready to give up its fusion monopoly, as many significant hurdles—technical, scientific, and economic—still place our own homegrown star just ...

A view of the assembled experimental JT-60SA tokamak nuclear fusion facility outside Tokyo, Japan. The tokamak—an acronym of the Russian-language designation of "toroidal chamber with magnetic ...

For decades, nuclear fusion has been described as the holy grail of clean power, a way to generate vast amounts of energy by ...

Tokamak Energy has released the first images of what its commercial fusion power plant, which it says would safely generate enough electricity to power 50,000 homes in the 2030s, would look like. The ...

NIIEFA has tested a high-temperature superconductor wire (HTSC) for the TRT tokamak, achieving record current and magnetic field parameters.

Startup company Tokamak Energy has published three papers showing size is not an important factor in fusion reactors and proving that a compact spherical tokamak reactor can produce high power. This ...

Japan’s JT-60SA fusion reactor project announced first plasma in October of this year to denote the successful upgrades to what is now the world’s largest operational, superconducting tokamak fusion ...

Experiments show fusion plasma can stay stable at higher densities by controlling reactor walls, challenging long-standing limits.

“By pursuing this route, fusion researchers around the world, including at Tokamak Energy, are developing new materials and technologies to help us get fusion power into the grid by 2030,” Kingham ...

A startup out of the United Kingdom claims that it can deliver a reactor with fusion power gain within five years, one that will be able to generate electricity within a decade. Moreover, they assert ...

Over the last few decades, we’ve been reminded several different times that our conventional means of generating energy can lead to extreme consequences. As long as fallible humans are involved, the ...
