Using inertial confinement fusion, First Light Fusion adopts a novel strategy. It creates the extreme conditions required for ...

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 ...

"EAST is just a scientific experimental device, and our ultimate goal is to build a commercially viable nuclear fusion reactor," he added. Gong explained that three conditions must be met to build ...

“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 ...

In the competitive race to crack the fusion code, an unexpected participant has gained attention—not a billionaire with a cutting-edge lab, but a university student who built a reactor in his ...

fusion reactor has succeeded in maintaining a plasma with a temperature of over 100 million degrees Celsius for just under 18 minutes. Plasma operation was maintained for 1,066 seconds ...

Japan’s JT-60SA fusion reactor project announced first plasma in October of this year to denote the successful upgrades to what is now the world’s largest operational, superconducting tokamak ...

The startup also flipped the switch last month on its latest prototype, Polaris, which it anticipates will be the first fusion reactor to generate electricity. Polaris, Helion’s seventh ...

One of the scientific teams helping to develop a Chinese nuclear fusion reactor capable of producing unlimited power has unveiled a device they say will be key to testing whether the facility can ...

SAN FRANCISCO--A start-up that a Nobel laureate co-founded plans to commercialize a nuclear fusion reactor using laser technology by around 2030. Shuji Nakamura, co-recipient of the 2014 Nobel ...
