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 ...

A few minutes later, data from inside a new fusion test reactor pours into several computer terminals. “Every time we do this, we learn a little bit more,” says Mike Donaldson, senior vice ...

A commercial fusion reactor is expected to need tonnes of the element every day. “However, these challenges pale in comparison to the bigger challenges with plasma reactors and laser ignition ...

Metatron N.R.G. is among dozens of startups globally seeking to harness the power of nuclear fusion in small-scale reactors, but it alone has overcome significant technical hurdles to do so using ...

Last week, team members gathered at RI’s facility in Germany to celebrate this achievement. The event took place next to the final cryopump, a symbol of nearly ten years of work. Series ...

Unlike conventional chemical rockets, Sunbird relies on nuclear fusion – a process that replicates the energy production at the core of stars – to propel spacecraft.

Nuclear fusion reactors, if and when they become practical, will need a steady supply of fuel. The source of that fuel is the uncommon lithium isotope lithium-6. And the established process to ...

Finally, safe sustained Nuclear Fusion has arrived and can be deployed rapidly into any industry using Quantum Kinetics' Arc Reactor™ technology. QKC noted that recently researchers at the ...

Oswalt learned the science behind creating nuclear fusion. Now the next part was assembling a reactor. He sought financial help from his parents to build one. “I rebuilt the vacuum chamber ...

According to Interesting Engineering, the U.S. Department of Energy awarded a grant of $2.3 million to a team of scientists ...

“The sun and the stars are all fusion reactors,” says Dinan. “They are element cookers — cooking hydrogen into helium — and then as they die, they create the heavy elements that make up ...

Nuclear fusion is a source of great hope for future energy security, with this field being explored in research reactors around the world. Accurately detecting their performance requires ...
