A persistent asymmetry in fusion exhaust has challenged researchers for years. New simulations show that plasma core rotation, working together with cross-field drifts, determines where particles land ...

Type One Energy, which has developed an alternative to the tokamak magnetic confinement systems typically used in nuclear ...

The technology has proven difficult to achieve. Researchers achieve major breakthrough in effort to build limitless energy ...

China breaks a historic barrier in nuclear fusion, bringing the dream of nearly infinite energy closer to reality.

After many years of experiments, the U.K. Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is decommissioning the world's longest-running fusion tokamak. The project housing this machine is known as the Joint European ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time inside ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: The plasma density barrier is a mathematical limit to the density of plasma that can exist in a tokamak before destabilizing. A new study led by a ...

Chinese scientists break a historic barrier and achieve the highest plasma density in a nuclear fusion reactor.

For six decades, the Bull Run Fossil Plant in Claxton, Tennessee, powered a region on fossil fuel. Last year, the plant was decommissioned, collapsing the plant's ...
