Proxima Fusion, a venture-capital-backed company working on making nuclear fusion a reality, has open-sourced its reactor design in a scientific journal this week. Although a highly technical ...

The company aims to build a fully operational fusion reactor by 2031. Its competitors include Commonwealth Fusion Systems, which is backed by Bill Gates’s venture fund Breakthrough Energy Ventures.

Each small modular reactor, or SMR, would generate approximately ... would also create about 1 gigawatt of thermal power. "The SMRs will be used not only for electricity generation but also ...

It will build its small, one megawatt molten salt reactor beneath a newly-completed laboratory at Abilene Christian University, in an underground trench 25 feet deep and 80 feet long, covered by a ...

A new record for maintaining plasma burning inside a fusion reactor has been set in France, beating China's previous benchmark by 25%.

Body Dimensions 145 x 70.4 x 8.6 mm (5.71 x 2.77 x 0.34 in) ...

This hot, electrically charged gas easily becomes unstable, which can lead to lost energy and limit the efficiency of a possible future nuclear fusion reactor. The WEST tokamak machine in southern ...

This accomplishment represents a substantial advancement towards realising fusion energy. The record-breaking fusion reactor is operated by France’s Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission ...

A world record for nuclear fusion has been smashed after an ‘artificial sun’ reactor was able to maintain a plasma for more than 22 minutes. The WEST reactor, in southern France, is at the ...

The team also confirmed that the reactor’s plasma-facing components remained stable, proving that materials can withstand prolonged exposure to extreme heat and radiation. According to Anne ...
