Lithium-6 is a crucial material for nuclear fusion reactors, but isolating it is challenging – now researchers have found a ...

Jackson Oswalt, a 12-year-old teen from Memphis, US, built a nuclear fusion reactor in his bedroom and made a Guinness World ...

Canadian startup General Fusion has been working on its unique approach to producing clean energy through nuclear fusion for ...

The reactor, called Lawson Machine 26 (LM26), is General Fusion’s latest iteration in a string of devices that have tested ...

Today’s nuclear fission reactors create radioactive waste, whereas nuclear fusion releases vast amounts of energy, with zero carbon emissions and only minimal radiation. Tokamaks and ...

Fusion on the other hand does not create any long-lived radioactive nuclear waste. A fusion reactor produces helium, which is an inert gas. It also produces and consumes tritium within the plant in a ...

Scientists from the Institute of Science Tokyo suggest that a novel alloy with high heat tolerance could help solve a foundational problem in many planned nuclear fusion reactors. A paper on this ...

What makes nuclear fusion unusual, is that it generates more energy than the energy it takes to operate it. The largest fusion project is the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER ...

SAN FRANCISCO--A start-up that a Nobel laureate co-founded plans to commercialize a nuclear fusion reactor using laser technology by around 2030. Shuji Nakamura, co-recipient of the 2014 Nobel ...

the moment when a nuclear fusion reactor will produce more power than is required to drive the fusion process in the first place. At this point the Joint European Torus (JET) reactor holds the ...

After decades of nuclear fusion power being always ... as well as being a nod to Howard Stark’s Arc reactor in the fictional Iron Man universe. An exploded diagram of an ARC reactor, showing ...
