Today’s nuclear fission reactors create radioactive ... Francesco Sciortino, co-founder and CEO of Proxima Fusion, Proxima’s ‘Stellaris’ design is the first peer-reviewed fusion power ...

Commercial fusion power plants may be cheaper and easier to build thanks to a breakthrough by TAE Technologies that allows reactors to generate their own containment fields without the need for ...

“The new innovative Novatron reactor design is a new solution for stable plasma confinement and a significant step towards fusion power generation,” says the company. Novatron’s reactor is ...

After decades of nuclear fusion ... makes the ARC reactor and the prototype SPARC reactor so fascinating compared to other tokamaks is its highly modular nature, while adding design elements ...

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 ...

Compared to the simple, round tokamak design, stellarators seem quaint at the best of times, but this is a result of these fusion reactors following the plasma behavior instead of seeking to ...

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 ...

A new shortcut can help engineers design leak-proof magnetic confinement systems for fusion reactors 10 times as fast as the gold standard method, without sacrificing accuracy. While several other ...

When high-energy alpha particles leak from a reactor, that prevents the plasma from getting hot and dense enough to sustain the fusion reaction. To prevent them from leaking, engineers design ...

The world’s largest and most powerful superconducting electromagnet is ready to become the pulsing “heart” inside of a massive tokamak nuclear fusion reactor. Developed over 40 years in ...

This advancement enables rapid predictions of collisions, significantly enhancing the stability and design efficiency of future fusion reactors ... be excluded through simple arithmetic operations.
