A team of nuclear fusion researchers is trying to bring order to electron movement inside reactors. It's not an easy task, as ...

A materials expert told Friends of ORNL that advanced nuclear reactors need 21st-century materials to withstand extreme ...

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 ...

Governments and private developers worldwide are accelerating nuclear fusion research amid technical breakthroughs that could bring commercial-scale, clean energy closer to reality.

China's Burning Plasma Experimental Superconducting Tokamak fusion facility (BEST) has entered a new construction phase as it speeds toward its 2027 target completion date. The state-run nuclear ...

Fusion power has long been sold as the technology that could light our cities with the same process that powers the stars. Now a new line of research suggests those same reactors might also be ...

Nuclear fusion, which operates on the same principle that powers the sun, is expected to become a sustainable energy source for the future. To achieve fusion power generation, it is essential to ...

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 ...

There’s only one fusion device on earth that has been able to meet a key scientific threshold, but Maritime Fusion CEO Justin Cohen is already preparing to put a fusion reactor on a boat. Stay with me ...

Fusion energy promises clean power by mimicking stars. Scientists are focusing on the reactor wall's edge, where plasma meets solid material. Controlling plasma density here is key to stability.

Ion beams can now qualify nuclear reactor materials up to 1,000 times faster than ...
