Nuclear fusion has the much-vaunted potential to provide the world with clean, safe and nearly inexhaustible energy. Read more at straitstimes.com.

French research organization CEA reported that on 12 February, the CEA’s WEST tokamak maintained a nuclear fusion plasma for more than 22 minutes, a 25 percent improvement over the previous record. “This leap forward demonstrates how our knowledge of plasmas and technological control of them over longer periods is becoming more

Nice number, but also not much more than a nice advance France’s Commissariat à L'énergie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives on Tuesday claimed it’s topped China’s recently-established for record maintaining fusion plasma in a tokamak,

France has taken a major leap forward in the race for nuclear fusion energy, achieving a new world record for plasma duration. On February 12, 2025, scientists at the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) successfully sustained a plasma reaction for 1,

Nuclear fusion aims to control inherently unstable plasma, offering a highly efficient energy source with minimal fuel use and no long-lived radioact

France has upped the ante in the quest for fusion power by maintaining a plasma reaction for over 22 minutes – a new record. The milestone was reached on February 12 at the Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA) WEST Tokamak reactor.
