China breaks a historic barrier in nuclear fusion, bringing the dream of nearly infinite energy closer to reality.

The stakes of the “race to fusion” are dramatic. Commercial fusion has the potential to deliver nearly unlimited energy by replicating the physics that powers the sun.

Chinese scientists have shattered the Greenwald density limit in nuclear fusion research ...

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

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 ...

China's Burning Plasma Experimental Superconducting Tokamak fusion facility (BEST) has entered a new construction phase as it speeds toward its 2027 target completion date. The state-run nuclear ...

China has advanced its nuclear fusion program by developing and successfully testing the largest ever radiation-proof robot, capable of performing maintenance in massive fusion facilities. The global ...

Google signed the first direct corporate power purchase agreement for nuclear fusion energy with Commonwealth Fusion Systems. The global race to achieve commercial nuclear fusion is intensifying, with ...

The U.S. and China are in a high-tech race to achieve and commercialize an elusive clean energy source: nuclear fusion. Here’s what’s at stake as the competition over energy resources intensifies ...
