The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor in France is inching closer to completion with the delivery of essential magnetic components from China for its fusion reactor. The Correction Coil ...

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

Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time inside the sun. But to recreate the process on Earth, we must control ...

Researchers have found a faster, more accurate way to design magnetic “bottles” that hold plasma for fusion power. Using symmetry theory instead of traditional, slow Newton-based calculations, they ...

Today, the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) announced the completion of all components for its pulsed superconducting electromagnet system. This intricate network of magnets, ...

A new research initiative is launching at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility to tackle ...

The fusion reactor’s electromagnetic “heart” is complete, bringing us one step closer to clean, infinite energy—though there's still a long road ahead. Reading time 3 minutes The most powerful pulsed ...

Inside a French fusion experiment, a metal more associated with lightbulb filaments than star power just did something extraordinary. Tungsten, long considered too brittle and temperamental for the ...

But on January 1, researchers working on China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) — often dubbed the ...

In a remarkable advancement for nuclear fusion research, scientists have achieved a significant breakthrough in operating a fusion reactor beyond a plasma density limit that has long constrained ...

A twisting ribbon of hydrogen gas, many times hotter than the surface of the sun, has given scientists a tentative glimpse of the future of controlled nuclear fusion—a so-far theoretical source of ...
