Called the SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak (SMART), this reactor is part of the University of Seville’s effort to not only make fusion energy possible, but also economically competitive for grid ...

China is reportedly building a laser-ignited nuclear fusion research centre that it could use to develop nuclear weapons ...

If we want to rely on nuclear fusion to power the world's homes, the first step is making reactors that can run as hot and as long as possible. Now, China's 'artificial sun' reactor ...

Since starting operation in 2006, EAST has been an open test platform for Chinese and international scientists to conduct ...

The startup also flipped the switch last month on its latest prototype, Polaris, which it anticipates will be the first fusion reactor to generate electricity. Polaris, Helion’s seventh ...

Helion Energy Inc., a startup working to develop commercial fusion reactors, today announced that it has closed a $425 million late-stage funding round. The Series F deal included the ...

Fusion-fission hybrid reactors represent an innovative approach to energy generation, combining the benefits of both fusion and fission processes. These reactors aim to enhance energy production ...

An experimental nuclear fusion reactor in China last week triggered a lot of excitement by keeping its operational state maintained for more than 1,000 seconds, or over 17 minutes, which is a new ...

It could pave the way for the successful operation of ITER, the world’s largest nuclear fusion reactor under construction in France. Runaway electrons are negatively charged particles that can ...

Russian scientists have developed a new technology for the production of materials for creating elements of thermonuclear reactors, specifically components facing plasma in fusion power plants. With ...

Fusion reactor materials also become radioactive as they are bombarded with highly energetic particles. Researchers need to design new materials that can decay within a few years to levels of ...
