Breakthroughs from two rival experiments, Germany’s Wendelstein 7-X and the Joint European Torus, suggest the elusive dream of controlled nuclear fusion may be within reach ...

A proposal to build a fusion-demonstration system in Livermore might soon help bring the world closer to the clean, abundant energy promised by fusion power.

Google has agreed to purchase 200 megawatts of fusion energy from Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS). That's assuming, of course, the Massachusetts-based startup can actually get the miniaturized sun ...

Tech giant Google has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) to buy at least 200 MW ...

China has built the world’s largest laser fusion facility, revealed by satellite imagery. This groundbreaking project could ...

A paper on fusion neutron sources by a team from the United States of America’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the University of Rochester has won the IAEA’s annual Nuclear Fusion prize.

It is noted that at first the researchers managed to increase the output energy to 5.2 megajoules, and then bring it to 8.6 megajoules, which is significantly higher than the of the previous ...

China seeks to outpace US by fast-tracking nuclear reactor with 5x energy output The assembly of the BEST reactor involves tens of thousands of components, weighing around 6,000 tonnes.

But the NIF’s reactor differs significantly from CFS’s, using lasers to compress a fuel pellet to fusion conditions. CFS’s tokamak uses magnets to herd 100 million degree C plasma into a ...

On January 20, Chinese scientists reported that they were able to maintain a plasma at a temperature of 100 million degrees C for about 1,066 seconds in a nuclear fusion reactor called the ...

China ‘building’ nuclear fusion research centre China is building a fusion research centre similar to the US National Ignition Facility (NIF) in Northern California. Decker Eveleth, a researcher at US ...

The design of the facility closely mirrors that of the National Ignition Facility (NIF) in California, which successfully achieved "scientific breakeven" in 2022 by producing more energy from ...
