The current AI race has reached a bottleneck that can be relieved only by new sources of electrical generation. Read more ...

Many fusion projects today use a different machine called a tokamak, which relies on symmetrical, doughnut-shaped magnetic fields. This technology is at the heart of major international projects ...

The magnetic field compresses the plasma about 1 millimeter, at which point ignition occurs. The neutrons released by the fusion reaction bombard a liquid metal blanket that surrounds the reactor ...

ITER has devised the technology that could unlock fusion energy, and they've done so with the aid of a 60-foot magnet. Here's ...

The lack of essential supply chains and process technologies necessary to commercialize fusion energy could doom the US and ...

A memorandum of cooperation has been signed between the UK and Japan for partnership on fusion energy - as companies in the ...

Last week, Washington state companies Helion Energy, Zap Energy and Avalanche Energy participated in a Seattle-area summit to share their progress in working towards commercialized fusion.

For 540-million years, the ebb and flow in the strength of Earth’s magnetic field has correlated with fluctuations in atmospheric oxygen, according to a newly released analysis by NASA scientists. The ...

For fusion to be viable, it will need to produce significantly more power and for longer. Budil said it required about 300 megajoules of energy to power the lasers in last week’s experiment.
