All of these new developments don’t mean that the sun is ready to give up its fusion monopoly, as many significant ...

Steve Zinkle will speak on “Materials for Nuclear Power Applications” at noon Tuesday, Jan. 13, to Friends of ORNL. His talk is open to the public.

For decades, nuclear fusion has been viewed as the ultimate energy source—clean, powerful, and practically limitless. Most approaches to fusion involve enormous machines designed to squeeze plasma ...

After many years of experiments, the U.K. Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is decommissioning the world's longest-running fusion tokamak. The project housing this machine is known as the Joint European ...

Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time inside the sun. But to recreate the process on Earth, we must control ...

Russia is pushing to the front of the nuclear fusion race with a record-setting high-temperature superconductor wire designed ...

But on January 1, researchers working on China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) — often dubbed the ...

In a remarkable advancement for nuclear fusion research, scientists have achieved a significant breakthrough in operating a fusion reactor beyond a plasma density limit that has long constrained ...

R esearchers have been able to experimentally enter, for the first time, a new nuclear fusion regime, with plasma density ...

To bring costs down, the US would need to mass produce reactors and cultivate a supply chain. This is similar to the ...

China’s EAST fusion reactor surpasses density limits, paving the way for advancements in sustainable fusion energy production.

The Thunderbird Reactor is small enough to fit on a lab bench, making it possible for universities and small labs to join the race. “We hope this work helps bring fusion science out of the giant ...
