After many years of experiments, the U.K. Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is decommissioning the world's longest-running fusion tokamak. The project housing this machine is known as the Joint European ...

Senior Correspondent For long-time followers of fusion energy, Tokamak Hall is the high-water mark after decades of ups and downs. From an observation deck on the side, the surgically-clean, ...

In an announcement this year, the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics shared a breakthrough from its world class stellarator, Wendelstein 7-X. The stellarator is a nuclear fusion reactor with the ...

For billions of years, the sun reigned supreme as the only fusion reactor in our solar system, leveraging its immense gravitational pressure and intense heat to overcome an atomic nuclei’s natural ...

Experiments at San Diego's DIII-D National Fusion Facility have demonstrated that a new plasma configuration could help increase the stability of tokamak fusion reactors and inform future designs.

Commercial fusion power plants may be cheaper and easier to build thanks to a breakthrough by TAE Technologies that allows reactors to generate their own containment fields without the need for ...

There is a well-known saying among nuclear physicists that commercial nuclear fusion is about ten years away – and always will be. But a series of announcements by American startups and state-backed ...
