A team of Chinese researchers has reported reaching a temperature of 100 million degrees Celsius—six times hotter than the ...

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

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 ...

Recent nuclear fusion news from Canada and China has created a buzz. Meanwhile, new fusion startups have been popping up around the world, and have drawn billions in private investment. But how close ...

Researchers in Germany have recently unveiled ultra-resistant materials designed to withstand the extreme conditions inside future fusion reactors and protect the inner surface that directly faces the ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. For decades, fusion energy has promised humanity a revolutionary power source that is clean, safe, and virtually limitless. Unlike ...

Scientists in the US have introduced a novel artificial intelligence (AI) approach that can protect fusion reactors from the extreme heat generated by plasma. The new method, which is called HEAT-ML, ...

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 ...

Fusion reactors promise cheap, abundant and relatively clean energy – if we can get them to work. Now, thanks to artificial intelligence firm DeepMind, fusion researchers are one step closer to ...

The sun-mimicking technology known as nuclear fusion hopes to create “limitless” energy by smashing light nuclei together using immense heat, but containing such hot plasma is proving tricky. A ...

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 ...

German startup Proxima Fusion — whose team includes engineers from MIT, Google, SpaceX, and McLaren — has unveiled a fusion energy reactor design it believes offers the quickest route to commercially ...
