The world’s largest operating fusion tokamak is about to go quiet for several years, not because of failure, but because its builders want it to do far more than it managed on its first outing. After ...

Researchers are now deploying machine learning algorithms directly into the control systems of tokamak reactors to prevent sudden plasma collapses. These collapses, known as tearing modes, reconfigure ...

Nuclear fusion may be closer to commercialization than previously thought, with private firms targeting operational reactors in the early 2030s. Major technical and economic hurdles remain, including ...

Scientists have developed a lightning-fast AI tool called HEAT-ML that can spot hidden “safe zones” inside a fusion reactor where parts are protected from blistering plasma heat. Finding these areas, ...

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 ...

There’s only one fusion device on earth that has been able to meet a key scientific threshold, but Maritime Fusion CEO Justin Cohen is already preparing to put a fusion reactor on a boat. Stay with me ...

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 ...

Researchers working on China’s ‘artificial sun’ have reported breaking a long-accepted threshold that has limited the operation of nuclear fusion reactors for decades. China’s Experimental Advanced ...

Explore how fusion reactors, ITER tokamaks, plasma confinement, and deuterium tritium fuel work together to unlock net energy gain and deliver reliable, large-scale clean energy. Pixabay, ...
