In this video, I explore the challenges of nuclear fusion while visiting the JET tokamak fusion reactor at the Culham Science ...
The machines at their center, called tokamaks, have evolved from experimental curiosities into instruments capable of sustaining confined plasma – matter so hot it mimics the ...
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: The plasma density barrier is a mathematical limit to the density of plasma that can exist in a tokamak before destabilizing. A new study led by a ...
Explore how fusion energy research is extending reaction times, highlighting nuclear fusion progress toward reliable, large-scale clean energy while explaining challenges, technologies, and future ...
Researchers working on China’s ‘artificial sun’ have reported breaking a long-accepted threshold that has limited the operation of nuclear fusion reactors for decades. China’s Experimental Advanced ...
China's EAST nuclear fusion reactor has successfully kept plasma stable at extreme densities, passing a major fusion milestone and potentially bringing humanity closer to wielding near-limitless clean ...
Trump Media & Technology Group and fusion firm TAE Technologies are looking for sites for a fusion power plant. The companies are searching for a site of at least 20 acres near a major city, after ...
Commonwealth Fusion Systems just announced a deal with Nvidia and Siemens that could help it accelerate the commercialization of nuclear fusion. On the main stage at CES on Tuesday morning, ...
A Bill Gates-backed nuclear fusion company has teamed up with tech giants Nvidia and Siemens in an effort to bring the energy that powers the sun a step closer to commercial reality. Commonwealth ...
Nuclear weapons tests were once a regular occurrence, but most countries haven’t tested in decades, following the adoption of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty in 1996. Now, that moratorium ...
Nuclear fusion faces serious scientific and engineering challenges that are often glossed over in popular science videos. In this reaction, a nuclear engineer breaks down what The Action Lab gets ...
Nuclear fusion is deemed the next big thing in the field of energy harvesting for humanity, but creating a reactor that can achieve continuous electricity generation has proved to be a massive ...
