This sector module is next in line for insertion in the tokamak pit. The assembly suspended in vertical tooling is composed of vacuum vessel sector #6 at the center, which is surrounded by a thin ...

All of these new developments don’t mean that the sun is ready to give up its fusion monopoly, as many significant ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time inside ...

The stakes of the “race to fusion” are dramatic. Commercial fusion has the potential to deliver nearly unlimited energy by ...

Aurora, one of the fastest supercomputers in the world, is now being used to ...

New simulations from Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory suggest that deliberately engineering plasma rotation inside tokamak fusion reactors could dramatically reduce the heat loads that destroy ...

Clean energy from nuclear fusion may soon be commercial. But leaders around the world have done little to prepare.

A persistent asymmetry in fusion exhaust has challenged researchers for years. New simulations show that plasma core rotation, working together with cross-field drifts, determines where particles land ...

There are a remarkable number of commercial fusion power startups, considering that it’s a technology that’s built a reputation for being perpetually beyond the horizon. Many of them focus on ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Tungsten, represented unexpectedly by the letter W on the periodic table of elements (for wolframite, an ore where tungsten is often found), is ...

A 13-foot robot nicknamed Godzilla is being engineered to assemble components inside ITER, the massive fusion reactor taking ...
