At first we were pretty skeptical of this home made fusion reactor instructable. However, we’ve seen home made fusion reactors before, so it is technically possible, we guess. The construction ...

Last summer, when word came down that ITER, the international thermonuclear reactor, would be built in France, fusion scientists breathed a collected sigh of relief. The start of construction of ...

The company announced yesterday that it had created plasma inside its prototype reactor – a major milestone in proving its technology. This proves General Fusion's Lawson Machine 26 (LM26 ...

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) has made a significant effort toward developing operational fusion ...

Although General Fusion’s piston-based fusion reactor has people mostly very confused, MTF is based on real physics and with GF’s current LM26 prototype having recently achieved first plasma ...

“Unlike large pure fusion reactors, compact spherical tokamaks may be used to produce high-energy fast neutrons economically, which can breed fuel for traditional nuclear reactors or burn their ...

Fusion on the other hand does not create any long-lived radioactive nuclear waste. A fusion reactor produces helium, which is an inert gas. It also produces and consumes tritium within the plant in a ...

a superheated fourth state of matter required for fusion, inside a prototype reactor. The milestone marks the beginning of a 93-week quest to prove that the outfit’s steampunk approach to fusion ...

But now, with net-positive fusion power no longer the stuff of science fiction, a fresh crop of startups have been founded on more mundane questions: Can reactors be built for less money?

A world record for nuclear fusion has been smashed after an ‘artificial sun’ reactor was able to maintain a plasma for more ...
