All of these new developments don’t mean that the sun is ready to give up its fusion monopoly, as many significant ...
Experiments show fusion plasma can stay stable at higher densities by controlling reactor walls, challenging long-standing limits.
The dream of the ancient alchemists may come true as Marathon Fusion announces that its tokamak fusion reactor technology can turn common mercury into gold as a byproduct of fusion operations in ...
Fusion power has long been sold as the technology that could light our cities with the same process that powers the stars. Now a new line of research suggests those same reactors might also be ...
The machines at their center, called tokamaks, have evolved from experimental curiosities into instruments capable of sustaining confined plasma – matter so hot it mimics the ...
Zap Energy’s three-meter reactor uses a lead-lithium liquid wall, cutting hardware needs and bringing cleaner, modular power ...
A critical shortage of fuel for nuclear fusion reactors may have a rather counterintuitive solution. A physicist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) says that fusion reactor fuel could be ...
Fusion energy holds the promise of providing clean and virtually limitless power. However, for future reactors, they must operate reliably and avoid dangerous phenomena including disruptions—sudden, ...
The interiors of fusion reactors can get seriously chaotic. But for obvious reasons—like extreme temperatures and pressures—researchers aren’t typically able to peek directly inside a reactor. Some ...
There’s only one fusion device on earth that has been able to meet a key scientific threshold, but Maritime Fusion CEO Justin Cohen is already preparing to put a fusion reactor on a boat. Stay with me ...
