A student’s small bedroom has become a hotspot for nuclear fusion experiments. With no fancy lab or deep-pocketed sponsors, the work is entirely driven by curiosity and grit. Hudhayfa Nazoordeen, a ...

Reactors designed to produce energy from the fusion of atoms could have an unexpected scientific side benefit. An international team of researchers has shown that low-mass dark-sector particles, such ...

The United States is preparing to subject fusion reactor materials to a brutal new benchmark: a focused 10 megawatt heat ...

R esearchers have been able to experimentally enter, for the first time, a new nuclear fusion regime, with plasma density beyond the conventional limit. While theories had suggested a strategy to ...

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 ...

Engineers in the United Kingdom are racing to build metal shields that can survive conditions similar to the center of the ...

China's EAST nuclear fusion reactor has successfully kept plasma stable at extreme densities, passing a major fusion milestone and potentially bringing humanity closer to wielding near-limitless clean ...

The Thunderbird Reactor is small enough to fit on a lab bench, making it possible for universities and small labs to join the race. “We hope this work helps bring fusion science out of the giant ...

Researchers have employed a combination of thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS), neutron depth profiling (NDP), and laser ablation mass spectrometry (LAMS) alongside cluster dynamics modeling to ...

Specialists at JSC NIIEFA and MISIS have developed a composite of tungsten and copper, using additive technologies, for the plasma-facing elements of the tokamak divertor of Russia's prototype TRT ...

Fusion doesn’t need billions of euros – at least that is what venture capitalists claim. Jon Cartwright takes a look Downsizing Fusion start-up Tri Alpha Energy based in Orange County, US, has ...

Washington spent much of the 1970s trying to become a center for nuclear power, with plans for five huge fission reactors at Richland and Satsop. Then came cost overruns, construction problems, and ...
