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

Researchers at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility have identified a new method to tame ...

This sector module is next in line for insertion in the tokamak pit. The assembly suspended in vertical tooling is composed of vacuum vessel sector #6 at the center, which is surrounded by a thin ...

Because of this, researchers and governments are investing time and effort in streamlining the nuclear fusion energy ...

The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project has unveiled a new ‘Godzilla’ robot, which ...

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

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 ...

Seeking to improve the tokamak fusion reactor known as ITER, researchers have found a way to stop rogue tungsten atoms from shearing off the walls and messing with the plasma. The finding is another ...

One thousand and fifty-six seconds, 17.6 minutes, may not sound like much time to us, but less than two weeks ago, China’s “artificial sun” named The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak ...

ITER, the largest testing bed for nuclear fusion on Earth, could prove the viability of the power source—if it ever turns on. Reading time 3 minutes It took 20 years, but the design and delivery of ...

The race to recreate the sun’s power on Earth just hit a major milestone. Scientists operating a powerful fusion reactor, often nicknamed China’s “artificial sun,” set a world record that’s turning ...
