The sun is a gigantic fusion reactor that creates nearly all of the energy making life on earth possible. Sunlight provides the warmth that keeps water from freezing, and sunlight lets plants create ...

A nuclear fusion breakthrough has always been 30-odd years away, but not anymore. The race for commercialization is on. Today, 53 fusion energy companies worldwide are competing to be the first to ...

The U.S. government has launched the process to develop a regulatory framework to develop fusion machines as emerging nuclear ...

For decades, scientists have dreamed of creating a miniature version of the sun on Earth – a machine capable of producing limitless, clean energy through atomic fusion rather than fission. That dream, ...

The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak achieved a remarkable scientific milestone by maintaining steady-state high-confinement plasma operation for an impressive 1,066 seconds. The ...

China’s race to harness fusion energy is no longer confined to a single experimental reactor. Its so‑called “artificial sun” has shattered long‑standing performance limits, while a vast new laser ...

A nuclear fusion startup just hit a hot new milestone. Everett, Washington-based Helion Energy announced that its nuclear fusion prototype reactor achieved plasma temperatures of about 270 million ...
