A Sweden-based firm has launched a plasma confinement project to achieve commercially viable fusion energy. The TauEB project by Novatron Fusion Group aims to revolutionize plasma confinement and ...

Centrifugal Magnetic Mirrors could enable commercial nuclear fusion reactors on Earth and are also promising for next level propulsion in space. There is funded near term work for both goals. An early ...

Inside a concrete-and-steel facility in Devens, Massachusetts, a crane lowered a 20-ton high-temperature superconducting ...

Although the idea of containing a plasma within a magnetic field seems straightforward at first, plasmas are highly dynamic systems that will happily escape magnetic confinement if given half a chance ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. For decades, scientists have been working to develop reactors that can achieve fusion to meet the increasing need for clean and ...

Magnetic Confinement Fusion Research Centre has the following research output in the current window (1 January 2025 - 31 December 2025) of the Nature Index. Click on Count to view a list of articles ...

Abundant, low-cost, clean energy—the envisioned result if scientists and engineers can successfully produce a reliable method of generating and sustaining fusion energy—has taken one step closer to ...

It’s rarely appreciated just how much more complicated nuclear fusion is than nuclear fission. Whereas the latter involves a process that happens all around us without any human involvement, and where ...

(Editor’s note: The following article originally appeared in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists in October, 1971. It is reprinted here in full in November 2024—so readers can get a sense of how ...

Scientists have spent over 70 years trying to pull nuclear fusion, the super-hot process that powers the Sun, down to Earth — and now they’re closer than ever. Teams across the world are betting on ...

Predicted motions of hundreds of particles in a fusion reactor. The motions predicted with the new method (orange, red) agree very closely with those predicted by Newton's laws (blue, green), but can ...
