Japan-based Helical Fusion Company has announced the closure of its Series A funding round. The money raised will help the ...

For decades, scientists have looked to the Sun as the ultimate model of power,an enormous fusion reactor that has sustained ...

Breakthroughs from two rival experiments, Germany’s Wendelstein 7-X and the Joint European Torus, suggest the elusive dream ...

Whereas magnetic confinement fusion does effectively what it says on the tin, magnetic target fusion is pretty much a hybrid of magnetic confinement fusion and the laser-based intertial ...

Magnetic confinement advance promises 100 times more fusion power at half the cost by Bob Yirka, Phys.org Editors' notes ...

With their innovative design, tokamak reactors are leading the charge in fusion research, aiming to unlock the potential of nuclear fusion for global energy needs.

But they ripped it up and started again with Polaris, its seventh. Both employ Magneto-Inertial fusion, a combination of inertial and magnetic confinement the company says is smaller and lower cost.

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 ...

The optimists among us—and I’m one of them—look on these new experiments as being the likely immediate predecessors of what might be called scientific feasibility demonstrations for fusion, that is, ...

The global fusion energy market, driven by international collaborations and private ventures, is advancing rapidly with a focus on magnetic and inertial confinement approaches. Key projects like ...

Fusion energy could reduce Europe's dependence on foreign powers such as the US, China, and Russia, according to the CEO of Proxima Fusion.

Fusion energy research is being pursued around the world as a means of solving energy problems. Magnetic confinement fusion reactors aim to extract fusion energy by confining extremely hot plasma ...
