By exceeding a long-standing density barrier, China’s EAST fusion reactor proved that tokamaks can pack way more atoms into ...

China's EAST nuclear fusion reactor has successfully kept plasma stable at extreme densities, passing a major fusion ...

See how the WEST nuclear fusion reactor's tungsten upgrade led to a groundbreaking success, containing plasma at 50 million ...

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 ...

Commercial nuclear reactors all work pretty much the same way. Atoms of a radioactive material split, emitting neutrons.

The promise of nuclear fusion feels simple. Just as stars fuse hydrogen into heavier elements to produce energy, a fusion reactor generates massive amounts of energy by combining lightweight particles ...

Physicists have spent decades chasing two grand technological dreams: harnessing fusion power and uncovering the nature of ...

Using a small bench-top reactor, researchers at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have demonstrated that electrochemically loading a solid metal target with deuterium fuel can boost nuclear ...

In February, France's WEST nuclear fusion reactor made a big step toward getting clean, star-like energy for everyone. The machine held superheated plasma for 1,337 seconds, or just over 22 minutes.

Companies like Kairos Power are building new types of reactors with the encouragement of the Trump administration, but their ...
