A Sweden-based firm has launched a plasma confinement project to achieve commercially viable fusion energy. The TauEB project by Novatron Fusion Group aims to revolutionize plasma confinement and ...

Fusion startups are racing to turn the physics that powers the sun into a practical power source, and a new generation of ...

Predicted motions of hundreds of particles in a fusion reactor. The motions predicted with the new method (orange, red) agree very closely with those predicted by Newton's laws (blue, green), but can ...

Magnetic confinement fusion represents a promising avenue for realising sustainable and high‐yield energy production. In these systems, plasma – a highly ionised state of matter – is contained within ...

Imagine a world where energy is no longer a finite resource—a world powered by a clean, virtually limitless source that doesn’t pollute the air or leave behind hazardous waste. It sounds like science ...

It’s rarely appreciated just how much more complicated nuclear fusion is than nuclear fission. Whereas the latter involves a process that happens all around us without any human involvement, and where ...

(Editor’s note: The following article originally appeared in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists in October, 1971. It is reprinted here in full in November 2024—so readers can get a sense of how ...

Plasma many times hotter than the surface of the sun swirls inside of a large device. From the outside, the device looks like a metal ring surrounded by scaffolding and walkways. But inside, the ...

For nearly a century, scientists have been tantalized by the prospect of attaining an inexhaustible source of energy through nuclear fusion. Unfortunately, engineering a controlled environment where ...

HANAU, Germany & BERGISCH GLADBACH, Germany & CARTERET, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bruker Corporation (Nasdaq: BRKR) announced that its Bruker Energy & Supercon Technologies (BEST) division, and ...

Scientists have spent over 70 years trying to pull nuclear fusion, the super-hot process that powers the Sun, down to Earth — and now they’re closer than ever. Teams across the world are betting on ...
