Oak Ridge National Laboratory is quietly tackling one of fusion energy’s toughest engineering problems: turning raw neutron ...

Scientists have developed a lightning-fast AI tool called HEAT-ML that can spot hidden “safe zones” inside a fusion reactor where parts are protected from blistering plasma heat. Finding these areas, ...

The Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research (DIFFER), a research lab based in the Netherlands, is utilizing its specialized device, Magnum-PSI, to test and develop materials capable of ...

Nuclear fusion is deemed the next big thing in the field of energy harvesting for humanity, but creating a reactor that can achieve continuous electricity generation has proved to be a massive ...

Lower hybrid current drive (LHCD) plays a pivotal role in advancing the development of steady‐state tokamak plasmas, essential for the realisation of fusion energy. This technique utilises radio ...

The interiors of fusion reactors can get seriously chaotic. But for obvious reasons—like extreme temperatures and pressures—researchers aren’t typically able to peek directly inside a reactor. Some ...

A host of startups are racing to achieve commercial fusion power. Zap Energy just drew a line in the sand after announcing its latest device recorded the highest-ever plasma pressures for its ...
