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

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

On 12 February, the CEA’s WEST machine was able to maintain a plasma for more than 22 minutes. In doing so, it smashed the ...

Only one (or possibly two) of the missing bombs was fully assembled at the time it was lost. The total number of confirmed ...

Helion Energy says its series F raise will fund it through the deployment of the first-ever commercial nuclear fusion plant.

Unlike nuclear fission, the nuclear fusion reaction in a tokamak is an inherently safe reaction. But fusion is a finely balanced reaction which is very sensitive to the conditions. The reaction ...

Chinese researchers from the Institute of Plasma Physics (ASIPP) at the Hefei Institute of Physical Science have managed to sustain a nuclear fusion reaction at a temperature of 100 million ...

and virtually limitless energy through controlled fusion reactions. The work is published in the journal Nuclear Fusion. The SMART tokamak, a state-of-the-art experimental fusion device designed ...

Type One Energy, a nuclear fusion company that moved its headquarters to Knoxville last year with a plan to create 300 jobs and build a prototype at a closed coal plant, signed a cooperative ...

Nuclear fusion is the process that powers the Sun and stars ... it does not produce long-lived radioactive waste or risks of uncontrolled chain reactions. One of its main advantages in the current ...

Unfortunately, none of these reactors have yet to achieve what we call ignition—the point at which nuclear fusion creates its own energy and sustains its own reaction. But this new record is a ...

Chinese researchers set a new record by sustaining a nuclear fusion reaction at 100 million degrees Celsius for 1,066 seconds. China invests nearly double the U.S. in fusion research, with Energy ...
