Plasmoid-based fusion “opens the doors to a novel kind of small fusion reactor, comparable in size to a desktop computer,” the company says. “After three years of research and development, we have ...

For decades, if you asked a fusion scientist to picture a fusion reactor, they’d probably tell you about a tokamak. It’s a chamber about the size of a large room, shaped like a hollow doughnut.

Fusion power has long been promised as a clean, abundant energy source, but scientists have struggled to harness it effectively. A new approach, however, may finally bring fusion reactors closer ...

As part of the global effort to harness power from fusing plasma, scientists worked on the computer codes, engineering and physics for a new and unique fusion reactor: the SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak.

The devices, about the size of a lunch pail, allow the company to test, ... Avalanche says its small fusion reactors allow it to test and make changes faster. Avalanche Energy.

A way of controlling the size of instabilities in the plasma of fusion reactors has been discovered by an international team of researchers. Large instabilities can damage a reactor, while small ...

Whether modular reactor or microreactor, the small reactor industry is expected to grow significantly over the next five to 10 years. See nuclear reactor , nuclear fusion and AI datacenter .

Their aim is the lowest risk plant design possible. High energy per shot reduces physics risk, and slower frequency and small overall plant size reduce the engineering risk. The targets are a key ...

The European Union faces a $277 billion investment need for conventional nuclear power expansion by 2050, alongside ...

The fusion reactors once envisioned in the 1950s could soon become a cornerstone of global clean energy solutions. Research findings are available online in the journal Physical Review Letters .
