The U.S. Department of Energy now has two major supercomputing systems aimed at accelerating fusion energy research through artificial intelligence. Argonne National Laboratory’s Aurora exascale ...

Fusion energy, the process of fusing light atomic nuclei to generate energy, has long been considered the key to a clean and ...

Canadian startup General Fusion has been working on its unique approach to producing clean energy through nuclear fusion for two decades, and it's now got something major to show for it. The company ...

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 ...

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 ...

Nuclear fusion is deemed the next big thing in the field of energy harvesting for humanity, but creating a reactor that can achieve continuous electricity generation has proved to be a massive ...

New fusion simulations of the inside of a tokamak reveal the ideal spot for a 'cave' with flowing liquid lithium is near the bottom by the center stack, as the evaporating metal particles should land ...

Zap Energy took the wraps off its latest fusion device Tuesday at a research meeting in Long Beach, California, the latest in a string of devices the company has built in its quest to bring fusion ...

Scientists have long seen a puzzling pattern in tokamaks, the doughnut-shaped machines that could one day reliably generate electricity from fusing atoms. When plasma particles escape the core of the ...

The interiors of fusion reactors can get seriously chaotic. But for obvious reasons—like extreme temperatures and pressures—researchers aren’t typically able to peek directly inside a reactor. Some ...

Humanity probably isn’t on the cusp of a nuclear fusion revolution just yet. But along the way, we are getting some peeks at mind-blowing fusion experiments, so what’s the big rush? We submit this new ...
