Discover the challenges and breakthroughs in nuclear fusion, the clean energy source of the future. Learn about the science ...

The new material could be key to finally building a successful fusion reactor.

France has upped the ante in the quest for fusion power by maintaining a plasma reaction for over 22 minutes – a new record.

A world record for nuclear fusion has been smashed after an ... Plasma is created when the two fuels used in the reactor, deuterium and tritium, are heated to more than 50 million degrees ...

That way each fusion reaction replaces the tritium it uses. So now that we know all the miracles that the reactor wall has to pull off, let’s look at the options for materials.

Chinese scientists sustain plasma at 100 million degrees C for 1,066 seconds in EAST, advancing nuclear fusion research.

What is a tokamak? A tokamak is an experimental machine devised to control the energy of fusion. Inside a tokamak, the wall ...

Prime Minister Modi makes history as first head of government to visit the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor ...

Plasma was kept stable for 22 minutes at the French research reactor WEST. The team wants to achieve several hours in future.

Fusion technology is a long way from powering a grid — if it ever will. Dozens of fusion startups have launched anyway.
