ITER engineers expect their tokamak reactor to generate 500 megawatts (Mw) of fusion power using just 50 Mw of input heating–compared with a nuclear fission reactor ’s roughly 1,000 Mw of ...

A student’s small bedroom has become a hotspot for nuclear fusion experiments. With no fancy lab or deep-pocketed sponsors, the work is entirely driven by curiosity and grit. Hudhayfa Nazoordeen ...

The race to recreate the sun’s power on Earth just hit a major milestone. Scientists operating a powerful fusion reactor, often nicknamed China’s “artificial sun,” set a world record that ...

Engineer in a nuclear fusion reactor research factory. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission announced in June that it is moving forward to advance new uses of factory-built microreactors by ...

Competition among the U.S., China, and Europe in fusion technology development is crucial for accelerating progress, ensuring global energy stability, and addressing climate change, while also pote… ...

A nuclear fusion power plant prototype is already being built outside Boston. How long until unlimited clean energy is real?

The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) has completed the final component of its pulsed superconducting electromagnet system, a major milestone in fusion research.

Commercial fusion power plants may be cheaper and easier to build thanks to a breakthrough by TAE Technologies that allows reactors to generate their own containment fields without the need for ...

Lawmakers introduced a package of bills to support nuclear fusion research, in hopes of creating a nuclear "Silicon Valley" in Wisconsin.

China is racing forward in its effort to pave the way in fusion energy science, and state-sponsored media reported earlier this week that one of the country’s next-gen reactors is now under ...

TAE Technologies claims its setup produces 100 times the power of other designs at half the cost, but the road to commercial fusion is littered with hype.

The fusion reactor’s electromagnetic “heart” is complete, bringing us one step closer to clean, infinite energy—though there's still a long road ahead.
