For seventy years, one stubborn physics problem has stood between fusion’s promise and practical reactors. That puzzle, how ...

The new experiment, published in Nature, uses a compact, room-temperature fusion reactor. It doesn’t aim for large-scale energy production—yet. Instead, it focuses on a way to improve the fusion ...

Physicists have spent decades chasing two grand technological dreams: harnessing fusion power and uncovering the nature of ...

First tokamak plasma at the SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak – SMART – recorded with a fast-framing camera in the visible spectral range. In a pioneering approach to achieve fusion energy, the SMART device ...

A new theory suggests fusion reactors could help scientists search for axions, mysterious particles that may explain dark ...

Some fusion companies might be hitting a rough patch, but Realta Fusion is bucking the trend with a new fundraising round it says will allow it to finalize the design of its Anvil prototype reactor.

Nuclear fusion, an energy generation method driven by the combination of two hydrogen atoms, has long been sought for its potential as a near-limitless source of energy. In the pursuit of cheap and ...

Munich-based Proxima Fusion and its partners have published a new peer-reviewed paper presenting Stellaris, the world's first integrated concept for a commercial fusion power plant designed to operate ...

The alchemist's dream is to make gold from common metals, but can this be done? The physics needed to explain how to change one element into another is well understood and has been used for decades in ...
