A persistent asymmetry in fusion exhaust has challenged researchers for years. New simulations show that plasma core rotation, working together with cross-field drifts, determines where particles land ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time inside ...

There are a remarkable number of commercial fusion power startups, considering that it’s a technology that’s built a reputation for being perpetually beyond the horizon. Many of them focus on ...

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 ...
