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

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 ...

"We still need supercomputers to ... push the physics frontier." Scientists achieve major breakthrough that could unlock next ...

The promise of nuclear fusion feels simple. Just as stars fuse hydrogen into heavier elements to produce energy, a fusion reactor generates massive amounts of energy by combining lightweight particles ...

Fusion power has long been sold as the technology that could light our cities with the same process that powers the stars. Now a new line of research suggests those same reactors might also be ...

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 ...

Inside a French fusion experiment, a metal more associated with lightbulb filaments than star power just did something extraordinary. Tungsten, long considered too brittle and temperamental for the ...

There’s only one fusion device on earth that has been able to meet a key scientific threshold, but Maritime Fusion CEO Justin Cohen is already preparing to put a fusion reactor on a boat. Stay with me ...

GREIFSWALD, GERMANY - OCTOBER 29: A worker explains a photo taken about a year and a half ago that shows construction of the interior plasma chamber of the Wendelstein 7-X experimental fusion reactor ...

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 ...

Explore how fusion energy research is extending reaction times, highlighting nuclear fusion progress toward reliable, large-scale clean energy while explaining challenges, technologies, and future ...

The industry is getting billions, but it’s way too early to count on fusion to meet growing electricity demand. This week, Commonwealth Fusion Systems announced it has another customer for its first ...
