China’s flagship fusion experiment has pushed plasma density beyond a limit that many physicists treated as a hard ceiling, ...

Nuclear fusion faces serious scientific and engineering challenges that are often glossed over in popular science videos. In ...

For a long time, the Greenwald limit was accepted as a given and incorporated into fusion reactor engineering. The new work shows that precise control over how the plasma is created and interacts with ...

A breakthrough experiment revealed how plasma turbulence spreads heat inside fusion reactors, solving a decades-old problem ...

Experiments at China's Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak have confirmed the existence of "a density-free region" ...

Research using the world’s most energetic laser has shed light on the properties of highly compressed matter – essential to understanding the structure of giant planets and stars, and to develop ...

The insides of nuclear fusion reactors are violent and chaotic places. A new cold-spray coating can take the heat and also trap some rogue hydrogen particles at the same time, potentially making for ...

Dubbed 'EAST,' China's 'artificial Sun' mimics the physics of Sun and stars to generate energy from hydrogen electrons.

US fusion firm Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) has announced partnerships with Nvidia and Siemens to develop a digital twin ...
