Fusion startups are racing to prove that they can bottle the power of the stars without the sprawling magnets or precision ...

For decades, scientists have been working to develop reactors that can achieve fusion to meet the increasing need for clean and limitless energy. The success of such experiments depends on multiple ...

A Sweden-based firm has launched a plasma confinement project to achieve commercially viable fusion energy. The TauEB project by Novatron Fusion Group aims to revolutionize plasma confinement and ...

US-based Pacific Fusion has announced a major breakthrough in fusion research following four successful ...

The discussion about nuclear fusion has long involved its potential to create limitless amounts of energy. Thea Energy is one of several companies working to turn that potential into reality.

Magnetic confinement fusion represents a promising avenue for realising sustainable and high‐yield energy production. In these systems, plasma – a highly ionised state of matter – is contained within ...

Physicists are teasing a potential leap in nuclear fusion that sounds almost absurd on its face: a path to reactions that are “billion times” more efficient by swapping today’s ultra-short, ...

We are in the middle of a long-term geopolitical race as China, Europe and the U.K. continue pouring billions into fusion ...

The way scientists think about fusion changed forever in 2022, when what some called the experiment of the century demonstrated for the first time that fusion can be a viable source of clean energy.

Pacific Fusion today reported results from a series of experiments conducted at Sandia National Laboratories’ Z Pulsed Power Facility under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement.

(Editor’s note: The following article originally appeared in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists in October, 1971. It is reprinted here in full in November 2024—so readers can get a sense of how ...

Imagine a world where energy is no longer a finite resource—a world powered by a clean, virtually limitless source that doesn’t pollute the air or leave behind hazardous waste. It sounds like science ...
