Scientists have demonstrated a new plasma operating regime that could help solve two of fusion energy’s biggest challenges at ...

Fusion power has long been promised as a clean, abundant energy source, but scientists have struggled to harness it effectively. A new approach, however, may finally bring fusion reactors closer to ...

Scientists at the University of Texas at Austin, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and Type One Energy Group in the US have finally solved a problem that has troubled fusion energy research for 70 long ...

Prefer Newsweek on Google to see more of our trusted coverage when you search. Commercial fusion energy may be one step closer after engineers at Princeton developed a tool to make sustained fusion ...

Opportunities to invest in commercial nuclear fusion are limited for now, but these companies stand to benefit from their ...

For decades, nuclear fusion has held the promise of clean, limitless energy. However, one persistent challenge has slowed progress: the inability to reliably contain the high-energy particles needed ...

For most of the past 70 years, fusion energy has been shorthand for a promise that never quite arrived, a running joke about a technology that was always a few decades away. That timeline has shifted.

Type-I ELM plasma instabilities can melt the walls of fusion devices. A team of researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) and the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) ...
