Zap Energy’s three-meter reactor uses a lead-lithium liquid wall, cutting hardware needs and bringing cleaner, modular power ...

US-based nuclear fusion firm Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) has collaborated with Google’s DeepMind division to use artificial intelligence to fine-tune and enhance the operation of its forthcoming ...

China is racing forward in its effort to pave the way in fusion energy science, and state-sponsored media reported earlier this week that one of the country’s next-gen reactors is now under ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Scientists at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility are investigating a different approach to tokamak operation that has yielded ...

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 ...

Experiments show fusion plasma can stay stable at higher densities by controlling reactor walls, challenging long-standing limits.

Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time inside the sun. But to recreate the process on Earth, we must control ...

Fusion reactors promise cheap, abundant and relatively clean energy – if we can get them to work. Now, thanks to artificial intelligence firm DeepMind, fusion researchers are one step closer to ...

It’s rarely appreciated just how much more complicated nuclear fusion is than nuclear fission. Whereas the latter involves a process that happens all around us without any human involvement, and where ...

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 ...

A powerful new AI tool called Diag2Diag is revolutionizing fusion research by filling in missing plasma data with synthetic yet highly detailed information. Developed by Princeton scientists and ...
