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 ...

Nuclear fusion reactors are highly powerful technologies that can generate energy by fusing (i.e., joining) two light atomic ...

As covered previously, plasma stability is a problem with the popular approach of tokamak-based magnetic confinement fusion (MCF). Although this core problem has now been largely addressed ...

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 U.S. Department of Energy’s National Ignition Facility increased the yield of the experiment in recent attempts.

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 ...

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 ...

Stellarators use external magnetic coils to generate complex magnetic fields that confine plasma inside the reactor. But those fields can struggle to contain fast-moving particles, especially ...

The road to those milestones has proven extraordinarily costly. Though General Fusion’s tally may seem impressive, it is middle of the pack. Commonwealth Fusion Systems has raised over $2 billion, ...
