Fusion power has long been sold as the technology that could light our cities with the same process that powers the stars. Now a new line of research suggests those same reactors might also be ...

For decades, nuclear fusion has been viewed as the ultimate energy source—clean, powerful, and practically limitless. Most approaches to fusion involve enormous machines designed to squeeze plasma ...

Scientists say the path to commercial fusion power may hinge on better ways to measure the behavior of superheated plasma.

A student’s small bedroom has become a hotspot for nuclear fusion experiments. With no fancy lab or deep-pocketed sponsors, the work is entirely driven by curiosity and grit. Hudhayfa Nazoordeen, a ...

In this final segment of RealClearScience's interview with Laban Conblentz, Head of Communication at ITER, Coblentz shares the tale of how the world's largest fusion reactor came to be built in the ...

"Many small suns." That's how Alexander Galitsky envisions the future of fusion energy—a future where clean, abundant energy is accessible to all. Fusion, the process that powers the Sun and other ...

Workers wear protective equipment in a cavernous hall that contains industrial equipment. The tokamak hall at Commonwealth Fusion Systems’ fusion energy facility in Devens, Massachusetts, will house ...

How the Reactor Works Their custom-built device, called the Thunderbird Reactor, might look modest, but it’s packed with innovation. The reactor contains three key parts: a plasma thruster, a vacuum ...
