Fusion energy startup Realta Fusion, a University of Wisconsin-Madison partner, announced they are moving into the next phase ...

Their work was focused mostly on improving the field-reversed configuration (FRC), a magnetic confinement technique. As the researchers note, generating fusion reactions involves first generating ...

The National Ignition Facility, home of the first net-positive fusion reaction, is back with an even more powerful energy ...

The leakage of high-energy alpha particles prevents the plasma from reaching the necessary temperature and density to sustain the fusion reaction. Engineers design intricate magnetic confinement ...

The success of such experiments depends on multiple key factors, including optimized magnetic fields that could display enhanced fusion plasma confinement. Introduced by researchers at Laboratorio ...

Researchers have made a leap forward in the pursuit of clean, endless energy. A team at General Atomics, a U.S. Department of ...

Pranos, a nuclear fusion start-up in Bengaluru, aims to revolutionise energy production with innovative magnetic confinement ...

A new shortcut can help engineers design leak-proof magnetic confinement systems for fusion reactors 10 times as fast as the gold standard method, without sacrificing accuracy. While several other ...

Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) is the world's largest stellarator-type fusion reactor. The experimental facility is operated at the ...

The road to those milestones has proven extraordinarily costly. Though General Fusion’s tally may seem impressive, it is ...

This confinement system is often described as ... also help with a similar but different problem in another popular magnetic fusion reactor design called a tokamak. In that design, there's a ...

And that’s just for inertial confinement. Another method of achieving fusion, called magnetic confinement fusion, relies on holding plasma (a state of matter where atoms are stripped of their ...
