For decades, scientists have been working to develop reactors that can achieve fusion to meet the increasing need for clean and limitless energy. The success of such experiments depends on multiple ...

Researchers working with China’s "artificial sun," have discovered a method to push past a long-standing physical limit in ...

For seventy years, one stubborn physics problem has stood between fusion’s promise and practical reactors. That puzzle, how to keep violent runaway electrons from shredding the inside of a tokamak, ...

Abundant, low-cost, clean energy—the envisioned result if scientists and engineers can successfully produce a reliable method of generating and sustaining fusion energy—has taken one step closer to ...

A team of fusion researchers at TAE Technologies, Inc., in the U.S., working with colleagues from the University of California, has developed a new type of fusion technology that the company claims ...

Theoretical and simulation estimates of turbulent transport (high-dimensional data that depend on plasma conditions such as density, temperature, and magnetic field) are used as low-fidelity data, and ...

It’s rarely appreciated just how much more complicated nuclear fusion is than nuclear fission. Whereas the latter involves a process that happens all around us without any human involvement, and where ...

Fusion power has long been sold as the technology that could light our cities with the same process that powers the stars.

Magnet systems are a critical component of fusion reactor design, playing a decisive role in plasma confinement and overall reactor stability. Recent advances in superconducting technology, with ...

Commercial fusion power plants may be cheaper and easier to build thanks to a breakthrough by TAE Technologies that allows reactors to generate their own containment fields without the need for ...

China’s large Huanliu-3 nuclear fusion reactor follows decades of research in Chengdu. The world’s dozens of active tokamak experiments share ideas, scientists, and more. This tokamak, like many ...
