Recently, another reactor in France reported a major tungsten breakthrough: its toroidal tokamak, clad in tungsten, ...

Scientists at China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) program rang in the new year with a stunning ...

China’s EAST reactor just broke a fundamental fusion limit—bringing the dream of ignition a big step closer. shutterstock.

Canadian startup General Fusion has been working on its unique approach to producing clean energy through nuclear fusion for two decades, and it's now got something major to show for it. The company ...

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 ...

China’s latest advance with its so‑called artificial sun has pushed fusion plasma into a regime many physicists long treated ...

Many tokamaks use what is called positive triangularity plasma to produce energy, but past experiments have found that the inverse of this triangularity could be more stable. A new compact tokamak ...

The fusion power frontrunner said that construction on its Sparc reactor was proceeding as planned. Meanwhile, it's building ...

Nuclear fusion, which operates on the same principle that powers the sun, is expected to become a sustainable energy source for the future. To achieve fusion power generation, it is essential to ...

In February, France's WEST nuclear fusion reactor made a big step toward getting clean, star-like energy for everyone. The machine held superheated plasma for 1,337 seconds, or just over 22 minutes.

The interiors of fusion reactors can get seriously chaotic. But for obvious reasons—like extreme temperatures and pressures—researchers aren’t typically able to peek directly inside a reactor. Some ...
