Japan’s JT-60SA fusion reactor project announced first plasma in October of this year to denote the successful upgrades to what is now the world’s largest operational, superconducting tokamak fusion ...

Fusion energy, the process of fusing light atomic nuclei to generate energy, has long been considered the key to a clean and ...

Scientists think they have found the reason why fusion reactions often fall apart inside reactors—the intense magnetic-field lines scatter like spaghetti. This scattering means that the intensely hot ...

Canadian startup General Fusion has been working on its unique approach to producing clean energy through nuclear fusion for two decades, and it's now got something major to show for it. The company ...

Tokamak Energy, a UK-based private fusion energy company, has received a powerful new tool to achieve commercial fusion power. A 1 MW gyrotron, developed and manufactured by Kyoto Fusioneering in ...

Fusion reactors promise cheap, abundant and relatively clean energy – if we can get them to work. Now, thanks to artificial intelligence firm DeepMind, fusion researchers are one step closer to ...

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 contained within ...

1,337 seconds: that was how long WEST, a tokamak run from the CEA Cadarache site in southern France and one of the EUROfusion consortium medium size Tokamak facilities, was able to maintain a plasma ...

The WEST tokamak just broke the record for retaining hot fusion plasma, holding on to it for an unprecedented 22 minutes. WEST and other tokamaks are paving the way for ITER which, upon completion, ...

Nuclear fusion is the process by which two light atomic nuclei combine to form a single heavier one while releasing massive amounts of energy. Fusion reactions take place in a state of matter called ...
