Fusion technology is a long way from powering a grid — if it ever will. Dozens of fusion startups have launched anyway.

For decades, fusion researchers struggled with neutron isotropy, a key indicator of scalable plasma stability. Zap Energy’s ...

A remarkable feat has just been achieved in China in the quest for clean and inexhaustible energy. An experimental nuclear fusion machine has succeeded in maintaining plasma confinement for a ...

In a pioneering approach to achieve fusion energy, the SMART device has successfully generated its first tokamak plasma. This step brings the international fusion community closer to achieving ...

By ensuring a continuous supply of tritium for the fusion machine's operations, the breeder blanket enables a self-sustaining fuel cycle. The GBP200 million (USD244 million) LIBRTI (Lithium Breeding ...

An MIT-connected project is changing how we view energy production. It should have been bigger news. When the National Ignition Facility conducted a successful fusion experiment, we got a front ...

This accomplishment, reached on Monday, sets a new world record and marks a significant breakthrough in the pursuit of fusion power generation. The duration of 1,066 seconds is a critical ...

A working fusion reactor would generate enough high energy neutrons to produce its own tritium, but as no such machine yet exists, the UKAEA will use the particle accelerator to produce them instead.

From initial theories in the 1930s to the development of fusion machines in the 1950s, progress has been limited by researchers' ability to process and learn from experimental data. Now ...
