Nuclear fusion has long been the energy world’s moonshot, a reaction so powerful and so difficult to tame that many ...

Thea Energy's Helios nuclear power plant design uses technologies available today to make fusion energy commercially feasible ...

In February, France's WEST nuclear fusion reactor made a big step toward getting clean, star-like energy for everyone. The machine held superheated plasma for 1,337 seconds, or just over 22 minutes.

There is a widespread misapprehension that controlling nuclear fusion is hard. In fact so long as you are not hoping to use the process to produce electricity, controlling fusion is easy. Indeed, it ...

Germany pivots to nuclear fusion, partnering with Focused Energy and RWE. Breakthroughs at Lawrence Livermore bring ...

“We hope this work helps bring fusion science out of the giant national labs and onto the lab bench,” says Berlinguette. “Our approach brings together nuclear fusion, materials science, and ...

How do you keep a fusion plasma that's hotter than the sun from damaging vital components near it? This is just one question ...

A nuclear fusion reactor in Germany has reached world record numbers for runtime. The tokamak dominates fusion research in 2025, but stellarators are making a comeback. A stellarator is still a donut ...

The world’s largest operating fusion tokamak is about to go quiet for several years, not because of failure, but because its builders want it to do far more than it managed on its first outing. After ...
