Researchers using China’s “artificial sun” fusion reactor have broken through a long-standing density barrier in fusion ...

China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) has achieved a long-theorized state in nuclear fusion called a ...

For seventy years, one stubborn physics problem has stood between fusion’s promise and practical reactors. That puzzle, how ...

With impurity levels better controlled, the plasma was able to move into what researchers describe as a stable “density free zone,” operating beyond the traditional limit without triggering ...

Fusion power has long been promised as a clean, abundant energy source, but scientists have struggled to harness it effectively. A new approach, however, may finally bring fusion reactors closer to ...

A new theory suggests fusion reactors could help scientists search for axions, mysterious particles that may explain dark ...

Nuclear fusion, which operates on the same principle that powers the sun, is expected to become a sustainable energy source for the future. To achieve fusion power generation, it is essential to ...

There’s no perfect form of energy. Coal and natural gas emit carbon dioxide. Solar and wind are intermittent. Nuclear is costly and creates radioactive waste. Geothermal and hydro are ...

Energy startup Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) said Thursday it’s working with Google’s DeepMind division to fine tune — and even improve — the operation of its forthcoming Sparc reactor using AI.

Researchers at the University of British Columbia have shown that a small bench-top reactor can enhance nuclear fusion rates by electrochemically loading a metal with deuterium fuel. Unlike massive ...
