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

A persistent asymmetry in fusion exhaust has challenged researchers for years. New simulations show that plasma core rotation, working together with cross-field drifts, determines where particles land ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time inside ...

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

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

China’s flagship fusion experiment has pushed its superheated fuel into a regime that many physicists once dismissed as unattainable, reaching a plasma density that earlier models said would tear the ...

Munich-based Proxima Fusion has signed an agreement with the Free State of Bavaria, RWE, and Max Planck Institute for Plasma ...

Fusion energy has long promised the world a clean, nearly limitless source of power. But despite the excitement, real-world reactors must meet intense demands—both in performance and safety. Inside ...

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

Scientists have long seen a puzzling pattern in tokamaks, the doughnut-shaped machines that could one day reliably generate electricity from fusing atoms. When plasma particles escape the core of the ...

A student’s small bedroom has become a hotspot for nuclear fusion experiments. With no fancy lab or deep-pocketed sponsors, the work is entirely driven by curiosity and grit. Hudhayfa Nazoordeen, a ...

A materials expert told Friends of ORNL that advanced nuclear reactors need 21st-century materials to withstand extreme ...
