Nuclear fusion usually brings to mind sprawling facilities, blistering temperatures, and machines built on a scale that can swallow budgets whole. This device does something stranger.

X, the stellarator experiment in Greifswald, Germany, has built on knowledge gained from its predecessors to demonstrate the ...

U.S. researchers have used the Frontier exascale supercomputer to train AI models that can simulate magnetized plasma turbulence with unprecedented accuracy. The breakthrough could revolutionize the ...

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 to ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have used the Frontier supercomputer, combined with AI, to model magnetic plasma turbulence with unprecedented accuracy. The ...

The Thunderbird Reactor is small enough to fit on a lab bench, making it possible for universities and small labs to join the race. “We hope this work helps bring fusion science out of the giant ...

A decades-old scientific controversy and a small bench-top apparatus at the University of British Columbia (UBC) could be the key to more efficient fusion reactors by increasing the chances of a ...

Brit boffins have a £2.5 billion ($3.4 billion) budget for fusion power research and development, and the government agency ...

Canadian startup General Fusion has been working on its unique approach to producing clean energy through nuclear fusion for two decades, and it's now got something major to show for it. The company ...
