The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project has unveiled a new ‘Godzilla’ robot, which ...
The stakes of the “race to fusion” are dramatic. Commercial fusion has the potential to deliver nearly unlimited energy by ...
For billions of years, the sun reigned supreme as the only fusion reactor in our solar system, leveraging its immense gravitational pressure and intense heat to overcome an atomic nuclei’s natural ...
Experiments show fusion plasma can stay stable at higher densities by controlling reactor walls, challenging long-standing limits.
This experiment is the first confirmation of an abstract framework. Chinese scientists make groundbreaking discovery in ...
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 ...
Workers wear protective equipment in a cavernous hall that contains industrial equipment. The tokamak hall at Commonwealth Fusion Systems’ fusion energy facility in Devens, Massachusetts, will house ...
For decades, nuclear fusion has been described as the holy grail of clean power, a way to generate vast amounts of energy by ...
Timelines that companies project should be regarded not so much as promises but as motivational aspirations, says Melanie Windridge, a plasma physicist who is the FIA’s UK director of communications, ...
