The innovative reactor could vastly improve the world's sustainability. Scientists edge closer to unleashing virtually ...

Fusion power has long been promised as a clean, abundant energy source, but scientists have struggled to harness it ...

Called X-point target radiator (XPTR), this discovery could also help shed excess heat, and therefore has the potential to ...

Nuclear fusion reactors are highly powerful technologies that can generate energy by fusing (i.e., joining) two light atomic ...

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission on Thursday approved NuScale Power's design for 77 megawatt reactors, clearing a ...

The Tennessee Valley Authority announced Tuesday that it had submitted a construction permit application for a small modular reactor, making it the first utility in the United States to do so.

This new method can also help with a similar but different problem in another popular magnetic fusion reactor design called a tokamak. In that design, there's a problem with runaway electrons ...

The plasma inside a tokamak is dynamic ... If things go according to plan, the reactor will validate Thea's design and be a fuel source for the rest of the industry. Of course, nobody will ...

Stellarators have several advantages over their more popular cousin, the tokamak ... details of the reactor were published today in the journal Fusion Engineering and Design.

This is why developing a nuclear fusion reactor has become ... Whereas a tokamak has a simple donut shape, a stellarator has a more twisting design that is harder to build and operate.
