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 ...

A team of nuclear fusion researchers is trying to bring order to electron movement inside reactors. It's not an easy task, as ...

Centrifugal Magnetic Mirrors could enable commercial nuclear fusion reactors on Earth and are also promising for next level propulsion in space. There is funded near term work for both goals. An early ...

Nuclear fusion comes in all shapes and sizes, and while donut-shaped tokamaks are the most common, many companies and universities are investigating other ways to bring star power in cheaper and more ...

The international effort to build the world’s largest fusion reactor in southern France has entered a critical new phase, with project leaders adopting a revised 2024 baseline that acknowledges years ...

Developed over 70 years ago, the stellarator has long been ignored in favor of options like tokamak reactors. It might be time for its 'quasiaxisymmetry' to shine. By Andrew Paul Published Apr 5, 2024 ...

Fusion energy promises clean power by mimicking stars. Scientists are focusing on the reactor wall's edge, where plasma meets ...

Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), a division of First Citizens Bank, today announced it has provided a growth capital facility of $9.5 million to fusion energy startup Realta Fusion (Realta).

Aurora, one of the fastest supercomputers in the world, is now being used to ...

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 ...
