Fusion energy, long considered the holy grail of clean energy solutions, is closer to reality than ever before. With recent ...

It works by creating a thermonuclear reaction, the same process that powers our Sun, and containing it via superconducting ...

The WEST reactor, in southern France has smashed the world record or nuclear fusion after the reactor was able to maintain a plasma loop (pictured) for more than 22 minutes.

The sun, along with all other stars, is powered by a reaction called nuclear fusion. If this can be replicated on earth, it could provide virtually limitless clean, safe and affordable energy to meet ...

Vacuum vessel sectors for the world's largest fusion project, made in South Korea, have been delivered to the construction site in Cadarache, France. Four of the nine vacuum vessel sectors for the ...

Chinese scientists detail how they created high-strength, low-temperature steel for world’s first fusion nuclear power ...

ITER, under construction in southern France, aims to become the world’s largest experimental nuclear fusion reactor. China’s involvement in ITER includes contributing approximately 9 percent ...

In this final segment of RealClearScience's interview with Laban Conblentz, Head of Communication at ITER, Coblentz shares the tale of how the world's largest fusion reactor came to be built in the ...

ITER, the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, may be the grandest scientific experiment in the world. Initially conceived forty years ago, the project aims to build the largest, most ...

The way scientists think about fusion changed forever in 2022, when what some called the experiment of the century demonstrated for the first time that fusion can be a viable source of clean energy.

The most potent deuterium-tritium fusion reactions are possible only if the fusion reactor has a lithium blanket. Highly energetic (14 MeV) neutrons from the fusion reactions, the source of the ...
