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

Helion's unorthodox approach to fusion power and relative secrecy has earned it plenty of fans — and critics. But don’t count ...

Creating and sustaining fusion reactions—essentially recreating star-like conditions on Earth—is extremely difficult, and ...

The latest injection of funds will be directed towards manufacturing components in-house, including capacitors for energy storage and magnetic coils for its prototype fusion reactor. That follows ...

fusion reactor has succeeded in maintaining a plasma with a temperature of over 100 million degrees Celsius for just under 18 minutes. Plasma operation was maintained for 1,066 seconds ...

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 ...

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

Such issues have led to a resurgence of interest in a third nuclear option, which combines aspects of both technologies in the form of the fusion–fission hybrid reactor. The fusion–fission ...
