Could future fusion reactors also serve as laboratories in which to manufacture dark matter? That’s the provocative question ...

Fictional particle physicists Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hofstadter worked on the problem in three episodes of the show’s fifth season, but were unable to solve it. “The general idea from our paper ...

A critical shortage of fuel for nuclear fusion reactors may have a rather counterintuitive solution. A physicist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) says that fusion reactor fuel could be ...

A new theory suggests fusion reactors could help scientists search for axions, mysterious particles that may explain dark ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia have shown that a small bench-top reactor can enhance nuclear fusion rates by electrochemically loading a metal with deuterium fuel. Unlike massive ...

A nuclear fusion reactor in Germany has reached world record numbers for runtime. The tokamak dominates fusion research in 2025, but stellarators are making a comeback. A stellarator is still a donut ...

Chinese researchers at the EAST tokamak achieved a theoretically predicted regime with plasma densities above the previous ...

The U.S. is testing portable micro nuclear reactors for safe power in remote locations Student built a $2,000 working fusion reactor in their bedroom On one side, the plasma thruster injects ...

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.
