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 ...
The explosive growth of artificial intelligence has created a problem few people outside the power industry saw coming: the ...
The PACMAN platform successfully stabilized a fusion reactor in live tests at the DIII-D facility, running in just 20 ...
In the next few decades, many physicists are hopeful that nuclear fusion could become a realistic source of practically limitless energy. But before this can happen, it will be critical to ensure that ...
Fusion reactors, devices that generate energy by fusing light atomic nuclei at extremely high temperatures, could contribute to ongoing efforts aimed at producing electricity more sustainably. The ...
Fusion power is a means of deriving electrical power from the heat released during nuclear fusion reactions, and it's been a long-time dream to produce a working reactor. Fusion occurs when two light ...

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 ...
Nuclear fusion may be closer to commercialization than previously thought, with private firms targeting operational reactors in the early 2030s. Major technical and economic hurdles remain, including ...
Good news for fusion fans: A phenomenon that might have hindered efforts to generate energy using nuclear fusion may actually be beneficial. In computer simulations of two planned fusion reactors, ...
Nuclear fusion harnesses the immense energy released by the union of two lightweight particles. This requires extremely high temperatures and pressures—literally, this is how stars power ...
The final components of ITER's central solenoid magnet -- a 59-foot, 3,000-tonne superconducting system 15 years in the making -- have arrived in France, clearing a major path toward first plasma.
