The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) is one of the largest and most expensive science projects in ...

Companies around the world are competing to see who can build the first commercially viable nuclear fusion reactor. German ...

The achievement shows kinetic energy from charged exhaust particles can be converted into useful electricity, but it's still not a working commercial reactor.

In the hills of southern France, far from daily political drama and market headlines, a single engineering move is quietly reshaping what “possible” looks like for nuclear fusion. At the ITER site ...

Researchers were unsure whether alpha particles would aid or hinder fusion. Simulations suggest they help, by dampening ...

Once complete, ITER will run fusion experiments using five times as much plasma as the largest reactors in operation today. Reading time 2 minutes Stakeholders around the world are vying to realize ...

In the universe, thermonuclear fusion is a common reaction: it is the source of energy for stars. On Earth, producing energy using this process is difficult due to problems with controlling the plasma ...
