A student’s small bedroom has become a hotspot for nuclear fusion experiments. With no fancy lab or deep-pocketed sponsors, the work is entirely driven by curiosity and grit. Hudhayfa Nazoordeen, a ...

The United States is preparing to subject fusion reactor materials to a brutal new benchmark: a focused 10 megawatt heat ...

Building a working nuclear fusion reactor has proven to be a daunting challenge even for multiple wealthy nations, as we've seen with the much-delayed ITER project. However, a private start-up called ...

Engineers in the United Kingdom are racing to build metal shields that can survive conditions similar to the center of the ...

R esearchers have been able to experimentally enter, for the first time, a new nuclear fusion regime, with plasma density beyond the conventional limit. While theories had suggested a strategy to ...

China is racing forward in its effort to pave the way in fusion energy science, and state-sponsored media reported earlier this week that one of the country’s next-gen reactors is now under ...

But on January 1, researchers working on China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) — often dubbed the ...

Reactors designed to produce energy from the fusion of atoms could have an unexpected scientific side benefit. An international team of researchers has shown that low-mass dark-sector particles, such ...

A cutting-edge project to test “fusion blanket” technologies is taking shape, with the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) leading the charge to create a critical component of a fusion reactor. This work ...

China's EAST nuclear fusion reactor has successfully kept plasma stable at extreme densities, passing a major fusion milestone and potentially bringing humanity closer to wielding near-limitless clean ...

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 ...
