Successfully harnessing the power of fusion energy could lead to cleaner and safer energy for all—and contribute ...

A Knoxville-based fusion powerhouse says it's solved the fundamental science of harnessing the sun's power to produce electricity.

New results published in Nuclear Fusion confirm General Fusion successfully created magnetized plasmas that achieved energy confinement times exceeding 10 milliseconds. The published energy ...

and develop heat-resistant materials for magnetic confinement. That’s why the Chinese are developing the China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor. But while China is in the lead position today ...

The firm hopes to make fusion reactors more practical. Other approaches rely on high-powered lasers (known as Inertial Confinement Fusion) or superconducting magnets, which are used in machines called ...

“Fusion science has reached an inflection point,” said Vinodh Bandaru Researchers from China’s ‘artificial sun’ reactor maintained a sustained ... and built tokamak—a device that uses magnetic fields ...

Magnetic confinement is now seen as the primary path to make nuclear fusion a reality. The most common fusion reactors of this type are tokamaks and stellarators. Research by Liu has been ...

But now, with net-positive fusion power no longer the stuff of science fiction, a fresh crop of startups have been founded on more mundane questions: Can reactors be built for less money?

Oxfordshire-based startup First Light Fusion has announced a big shift in its nuclear gun strategy. The company will no longer develop a proposed ignition demonstration plant called Machine 4.

A German energy company has unveiled what’s being described as the world’s most viable fusion reactor concept and it’s bringing ... It functions by using complex magnetic fields to keep superhot ...

When it comes to fusion energy, historically, tokamaks are used as magnetic confinement devices in fusion reactors. But while they keep plasma hot, stellarators are now getting attention due to their ...
