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 ...

Fusion power has long been promised as a clean, abundant energy source, but scientists have struggled to harness it ...

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. Physicists ...

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

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.

Astral Systems, a UK-based private commercial fusion company, has claimed to have become the first firm to successfully breed ...

In a quiet corner of southern France, an international mega-project is forging ahead with its mission to demonstrate industrial-scale nuclear fusion. Computing got to take ...

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 ...

High energy per shot reduces physics risk, and slower frequency and small overall plant size reduce the engineering risk ... that can be reused to make First Light Fusion plant. Fast breeder reactors, ...

A nuclear-powered electricity generation system that can be up to one tenth the size ... Small modular reactors use the traditional "fission" method of energy creation and not "fusion," the ...

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.
