Scientists use the Summit supercomputer to simulate a solution to runaway electrons in fusion reactors, paving the way for ...
A university student's bedroom has become an unlikely hub for fusion experimentation, capturing the attention of enthusiasts ...
A company aims to bring a nuclear fusion plant online in the early 2030s, but the path to this breakthrough is anything but easy.
Even once researchers can reliably get more power out of a fusion reaction than they put in, they’ll still need to overcome ...
TAE Technologies’ approach is to use boron-11 and hydrogen instead of deuterium-tritium (two isotopes of hydrogen), which is the more common fuel for current fusion reactors, because it is the ...
They will investigate materials for the first wall of a fusion reactor. The first wall is the structure that surrounds the fusion reaction, so it bears the brunt of the extreme environment in the ...
The decommissioning of a "world-leading" nuclear fusion reactor has begun after 40 years of operation. The Joint European Torus (JET) facility in Culham, Oxfordshire, ended experiments in December.
The MIT spinout announced this week that it was "one step closer" to making fusion energy — fusing atoms together inside a reactor, like the process that powers stars in the night sky — a ...
Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS), a spinout from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, announced plans on Tuesday to build the world's first grid-scale commercial nuclear fusion power plant in ...
