All of these new developments don’t mean that the sun is ready to give up its fusion monopoly, as many significant ...

Engineers at the UK’s STEP (Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production) program have successfully tested ...

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

US-based EnergyX has officially launched NUKE-it, a nuclear materials technology platform designed to tackle ...

China's EAST reactor achieved plasma densities 1.65x beyond theoretical limits, solving fusion's 70-year puzzle and bringing ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: The plasma density barrier is a mathematical limit to the density of plasma that can exist in a tokamak before destabilizing. A new study led by a ...

The machines at their center, called tokamaks, have evolved from experimental curiosities into instruments capable of sustaining confined plasma – matter so hot it mimics the ...

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 ...

Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time inside the sun. But to recreate the process on Earth, we must control ...

A joint research team from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has successfully developed a continuous cryogenic pellet injection system for tokamak fueling. This ...
