All of these new developments don’t mean that the sun is ready to give up its fusion monopoly, as many significant ...

Scientists say the path to commercial fusion power may hinge on better ways to measure the behavior of superheated plasma.

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time inside ...

Scientists may have discovered a way to improve fusion reactors. Interesting Engineering reported on experiments inside a tokamak, a doughnut-shaped machine that contains plasma. Instead of only ...

The world’s largest operating fusion tokamak is about to go quiet for several years, not because of failure, but because its builders want it to do far more than it managed on its first outing. After ...

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 ...

Physicists have spent decades chasing two grand technological dreams: harnessing fusion power and uncovering the nature of dark matter. A new theoretical paper now suggests those quests might collide ...

In the heart of Provence, Southern France, the world's largest fusion energy experiment, which could be a step towards unlimited energy, has quietly entered perhaps the most critical stage yet. The ...

Workers wear protective equipment in a cavernous hall that contains industrial equipment. The tokamak hall at Commonwealth Fusion Systems’ fusion energy facility in Devens, Massachusetts, will house ...

A materials expert told Friends of ORNL that advanced nuclear reactors need 21st-century materials to withstand extreme ...

Recent breakthroughs in plasma density and duration at facilities in China, France, and South Korea have removed key technical barriers to fusion development. Major international projects like ITER, ...
