Replicating fusion, the power source of the stars, here on Earth has been a great challenge ever since the first experiments took place in the 1950s. Today, scientists and engineers continue to make ...

The first fusion reactions in a laboratory were achieved in 1934 — a major breakthrough at the time. Today, however, achieving a fusion reaction is not particularly difficult: in 2018, a ...

There are plenty of reasons why fusion energy has yet to become reality, but according to a group of researchers from the University of Texas at Austin and their collaborators, we may be one modeling ...

A new mechanism that could reduce plasma turbulence in stellarators has been identified in computer simulations done by researchers in the US and Germany. A similar effect has already been predicted ...

Like engineers who design high-performance Formula One race cars, scientists want to create high-performance plasmas in twisty fusion systems known as stellarators. Achieving this performance means ...

For decades, fusion energy has promised humanity a revolutionary power source that is clean, safe, and virtually limitless. Unlike fossil fuels or even traditional nuclear power, fusion mimics the ...

PRINCETON, N.J., June 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Princeton Stellarators (PSI), a fusion energy company advancing stellarator technology for commercialization, today announced the U.S. Department of ...

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., April 08, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Type One Energy announced today that early results from its testing campaign confirm the essential design elements of the company’s groundbreaking ...

When it comes to nuclear fusion, the most well-known reactor type today is no doubt the tokamak, due to its relatively straight-forward concept of plasma containment. That’s not to say that there aren ...

When Germany's Wendelstein 7-X fusion facility set a world record for stellarators recently, a finely tuned instrument proved the achievement. The record strongly suggests that the design of the ...
