There is a well-known saying among nuclear physicists that commercial nuclear fusion is about ten years away – and always will be. But a series of announcements by American startups and state-backed ...

China's EAST tokamak is reportedly on track to achieve plasma ignition in 2027 — potentially the first fusion reactor to sustain plasma without external heating. Beijing has designated fusion one of ...

Fusion power has always been a bit of a contradiction. The fusion part is actually kind of easy — an undergrad recently built a simple fusion device in his bedroom, for example — but getting ...

The promise of nuclear fusion feels simple. Just as stars fuse hydrogen into heavier elements to produce energy, a fusion reactor generates massive amounts of energy by combining lightweight particles ...

In the next few decades, many physicists are hopeful that nuclear fusion could become a realistic source of practically limitless energy. But before this can happen, it will be critical to ensure that ...

Nuclear fusion may be closer to commercialization than previously thought, with private firms targeting operational reactors in the early 2030s. Major technical and economic hurdles remain, including ...

US-based EnergyX has officially launched NUKE-it, a nuclear materials technology platform designed to tackle the critical supply chain shortages currently stalling the global race for fusion energy.

Zap Energy says its ultimate goal is safe, clean energy from fusion. To help get there, it’s starting to build fission reactors. By Raymond Zhong Atomic fusion has long been seen as the ultimate ...

Fusion power has long been sold as the technology that could light our cities with the same process that powers the stars. Now a new line of research suggests those same reactors might also be ...

China's EAST reactor is targeting fusion ignition by 2027, with a second project poised to generate electricity - putting Beijing ahead in the global race for clean energy.
