Back in the last century, smart alecks said that commercial fusion would always be 50 years in the future. Now, energy consultant Wood Mackenzie has taken to discussing developments in nuclear fusion ...

Nuclear fusion, which operates on the same principle that powers the sun, is expected to become a sustainable energy source for the future. To achieve fusion power generation, it is essential to ...

General Fusion’s LM26 machine just tripled its plasma heat. Can mechanical compression be the key to clean, limitless energy?

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. When in operation, this space inside the Wendelstein 7-X fusion reactor contains plasma hotter than the sun. Paolo Verzone Wearing ...

Many tokamaks use what is called positive triangularity plasma to produce energy, but past experiments have found that the inverse of this triangularity could be more stable. A new compact tokamak ...

EAST’s accomplishment is notable since the density limit has long prevented researchers from increasing plasma density past a certain point. Higher plasma density has historically been associated with ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: The plasma density barrier is a mathematical limit to the density of plasma that can exist in a tokamak before destabilizing. A new study led by a ...

Engineers at the ITER nuclear fusion facility in southern France have placed the final ...

Sweden’s Green14 is sampling material from its pilot reactor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. The pilot has a 100 kW plasma capacity with 5 kg/h of silicon. Green14, a Sweden-based startup ...

Imagine trying to trap a miniature star inside a machine without letting it touch the walls or burn itself out. This is the ...

No one has made a fusion reactor capable of generating power, but physicists have a pretty good road map for how to get there. One major milestone is heating fusion fuel up above 10 million degrees ...
