The nuclear fusion firm aims to advance its cost-effective tech with a funding deal, as Chinese competition grows in the ...

Called the SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak (SMART), this reactor is part of the University of Seville’s effort to not only make fusion energy possible, but also economically competitive for grid ...

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 ...

Helion Energy Inc., a startup working to develop commercial fusion reactors, today announced that it has closed a $425 million late-stage funding round. The Series F deal included the ...

It could pave the way for the successful operation of ITER, the world’s largest nuclear fusion reactor under construction in France. Runaway electrons are negatively charged particles that can ...

Fusion-fission hybrid reactors represent an innovative approach to energy generation, combining the benefits of both fusion and fission processes. These reactors aim to enhance energy production ...

The latest injection of funds will be directed towards manufacturing components in-house, including capacitors for energy storage and magnetic coils for its prototype fusion reactor. That follows ...

Fusion reactor materials also become radioactive as they are bombarded with highly energetic particles. Researchers need to design new materials that can decay within a few years to levels of ...

Fusion reactors superheat hydrogen atoms to extremely high temperatures, forming a charged gas called plasma. Using magnetic fields or lasers to compress the plasma, they force the atoms to fuse ...

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 ...
