Scientists at a U.S. government plasma lab have discovered a missing component in nuclear fusion equations that could speed up development of a working reactor. Specifically, the discovery could ...

The research team of Assistant Professor Masahiko Sato and Professor Yasushi Todo of the National Institutes of Natural Sciences (NINS) National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS) has succeeded using ...

Canadian startup General Fusion has been working on its unique approach to producing clean energy through nuclear fusion for two decades, and it's now got something major to show for it. The company ...

This project is not being offered for the current term. Please check back next semester for updates. Our lab has developed a plasma electrochemical reactor system capable of converting air directly ...

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new method to predict plasma behavior in a nuclear reactor (tokamak) during a rampdown. Rampdown is the process of safely ...

Developed over 70 years ago, the stellarator has long been ignored in favor of options like tokamak reactors. It might be time for its 'quasiaxisymmetry' to shine. By Andrew Paul Published Apr 5, 2024 ...

Researchers at the University of California, San Diego, have published a new theoretical model that offers a potential explanation for a known discrepancy in nuclear fusion research. The work suggests ...

One of the hardest things in magnetic confinement fusion is containing plasma long enough to induce a fusion reaction. The Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) reactor successfully ...

A private nuclear-fusion company has heated a plasma of hydrogen to 27 million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million degrees Celsius) in a new reactor for the first time — hotter than the core of the sun. UK ...

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 forefront ...
