New simulations from Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory suggest that deliberately engineering plasma rotation inside tokamak fusion reactors could dramatically reduce the heat loads that destroy ...

China breaks a historic barrier in nuclear fusion, bringing the dream of nearly infinite energy closer to reality.

This sector module is next in line for insertion in the tokamak pit. The assembly suspended in vertical tooling is composed of vacuum vessel sector #6 at the center, which is surrounded by a thin ...

A 0.5-tonne superconducting magnet recently hovered silently inside a 5-meter-wide vacuum chamber, which marked ...

The stakes of the “race to fusion” are dramatic. Commercial fusion has the potential to deliver nearly unlimited energy by ...

China is racing forward in its effort to pave the way in fusion energy science, and state-sponsored media reported earlier this week that one of the country’s next-gen reactors is now under ...

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 ...

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 ...

This is where Godzilla earns its keep. Standing four meters tall and capable of lifting 2.3 metric tons, Godzilla is the ultimate testbed. Starting in March 2026, the robot will begin testing over 30 ...

A fusion reactor dismantled in the UK and reassembled in the Czech Republic celebrated its first plasma late last year. The $32 million device was handed over for a symbolic £1. A fusion reactor ...
