Fusion energy start-up Focused Energy has signed an agreement with German energy giant RWE to build a 1GW fusion power plant. The facility will be constructed at the former Biblis nuclear power plant ...

General Fusion appears to be one step closer to making Canada a major player in fusion reactors.

If we achieve advanced nuclear, antimatter propulsion or other advance propulsion it would be possible to achieve near ...

The Canadian company General Fusion is relying on a different concept to other nuclear fusion projects. It has put a ...

Discovery reshapes our understanding of heat transfer in extreme materials, with implications for inertial confinement fusion and high-energy-density science ...

General Fusion announced on Tuesday that it had successfully created plasma, a superheated fourth state of matter required for fusion, inside a prototype reactor. The milestone marks the beginning of ...

Called magnetized target fusion (MTF), it’s similar in some regards to inertial confinement, the technique the National Ignition Facility used in late 2022 to prove that fusion reactions could ...

A net energy gain was notably demonstrated in December 2022 at the National Ignition Facility (NIF), a laser-based inertial confinement fusion research lab located at Lawrence Livermore National ...

Most fusion startups are pursuing one of two approaches: inertial confinement, where lasers compress fuel pellets to ignite fusion pulses, and magnetic confinement, where large magnets corral ...

UK-based First Light Fusion (FLF), which is pursuing a new form of inertial confinement fusion, is discontinuing the proposed development of its demonstrator, Machine 4, to focus on advancing and ...
