Breakthroughs from two rival experiments, Germany’s Wendelstein 7-X and the Joint European Torus, suggest the elusive dream ...

The research team details the discovery of a shortcut that can enable engineers to design leak-proof magnetic confinement systems ten times faster than the current standard method, without ...

The global fusion energy market, driven by international collaborations and private ventures, is advancing rapidly with a focus on magnetic and inert ...

A new shortcut can help engineers design leak-proof magnetic confinement systems for fusion reactors 10 times as fast as the gold standard method, without sacrificing accuracy. While several other ...

With their innovative design, tokamak reactors are leading the charge in fusion research, aiming to unlock the potential of ...

Plasma confinement, essential for sustaining fusion reactions, relies on methods like magnetic confinement (e.g., tokamaks and stellarators) and inertial confinement, both of which face stability ...

High-energy electrons in tokamaks can escape magnetic confinement and damage reactor walls. This innovative method can also identify potential leakage points, helping engineers design safer and ...

One of the most advanced kind of fusion energy globally approaches is magnetic confinement. These ring-shaped machines use powerful magnetic fields to contain super-hot plasma, creating the ...

While the “experiment of the century” used inertial confinement fusion, magnetic confinement fusion has yet to demonstrate that it can break even in energy generation.

Magnetic confinement fusion represents a promising avenue for realising sustainable and high‐yield energy production. In these systems, plasma – a highly ionised state of matter – is ...

Science can’t be rushed, but fusion’s true believers think capturing the sun in a bottle could light humanity’s future.
