Lithium-6 is a crucial material for nuclear fusion reactors, but isolating it is challenging – now researchers have found a ...

Nuclear fusion reactors, if and when they become practical, will need a steady supply of fuel. The source of that fuel is the ...

Described as an exoskeleton, or a cage, the support structure surrounds the central solenoid, which is a 60-foot-tall ...

The reactor, called Lawson Machine 26 (LM26), is General Fusion’s latest iteration in a string of devices that have tested ...

Superconductors are incredibly sensitive to this kind of damage, so substantial shielding is needed to maximize the lifetime of the reactor. The traditional roadmap towards fusion power, led by large ...

Scientists are conducting experiments to generate clean energy through fusion, the same sub-atomic reaction that powers our Sun, with the aim of constructing plants that produce more energy than they ...

A cutting-edge project to test “fusion blanket” technologies is taking shape, with the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) ...

The company announced yesterday that it had created plasma inside its prototype reactor – a major milestone in proving its technology. This proves General Fusion's Lawson Machine 26 (LM26 ...

Perhaps Liu’s return to China signaled his belief that his native country was about to take the lead in the world fusion race. China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) is a nuclear ...

The official World Record now stands at 200 million degrees Celsius, continuously held for 86,400 seconds. Finally, safe sustained Nuclear Fusion has arrived and can be deployed rapidly into any ...

Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are nuclear ... It is also important to prevent plasma escaping because it can damage parts of the reactor. The WEST reactor is described as an ‘artificial ...

a superheated fourth state of matter required for fusion, inside a prototype reactor. The milestone marks the beginning of a 93-week quest to prove that the outfit’s steampunk approach to fusion ...
