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

ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) is a multinational fusion project in France aiming to prove that ...

A world record for nuclear fusion has been smashed after an ‘artificial sun’ reactor was able to maintain a plasma for more than 22 minutes. The WEST reactor, in southern France, is at the ...

On January 20, Chinese scientists reported that they were able to maintain a plasma at a temperature of 100 million degrees C for about 1,066 seconds in a nuclear fusion reactor called the ...

This was more than 25 percent higher than the recently set record in China: At the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) fusion reactor, plasma with a temperature of over 100 ...

A team of scientists in France have smashed the world record for maintaining a plasma reaction - paving the way for the future of fusion power. The WEST machine, run by the Commissariat à l ...

Companies developing small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs ... and Nano Nuclear for similar projects in the U.S. While nuclear fusion still looks relatively far away, SMRs are today’s hot ...

This hot, electrically charged gas easily becomes unstable, which can lead to lost energy and limit the efficiency of a possible future nuclear fusion reactor. The WEST tokamak machine in southern ...

Under the agreement between the two companies, CEZ has ordered up to three gigawatts of SMR reactors from Rolls-Royce – equivalent to roughly six mini reactors – and will become a “strategic ...
