British startup Tokamak Energy is testing a new type of laser that it says is “crucial” to stabilising fusion reactions — the same atom-fusing process that powers the Sun and promises to deliver ...

A team of scientists has made a major breakthrough in fusion energy research that could bring us a step closer to limitless energy. The researchers, at the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA), have ...

First tokamak plasma at the SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak – SMART – recorded with a fast-framing camera in the visible spectral range. In a pioneering approach to achieve fusion energy, the SMART device ...

The UK’s most famous fusion reactor – the Joint European Torus (JET) tokamak – saw its first plasma on June 25th of 1983. Its final plasma pulse was generated on December 18th of 2023, for a total of ...

Researchers working on China's fully superconducting Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) have experimentally accessed a theorized "density-free regime" for fusion plasmas, achieving ...

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 ...
