Tokamak Energy has released new footage showing what it looks like to ‘capture a star’ on Earth, using a high-speed colour ...

Tokamak Energy has joined DOE’s FIRE initiative, aimed at accelerating core fusion energy science and technology.

I n a milestone for China’s fusion technology efforts, Shanghai Electric has completed what it describes as the world’s largest toroidal field magnet coil box.

A new model for ballooning instabilities in apple-shaped fusion vessels considers the height and width of the plasma's edge. Harnessing energy from plasma requires a precise understanding of its ...

Flash Physics is our daily pick of the latest need-to-know developments from the global physics community selected by Physics World‘s team of editors and reporters First plasma: the ST40 is a compact ...

Building upon recent findings showing the promise of coating the inner surface of the vessel containing a fusion plasma in liquid lithium, researchers have determined the maximum density of uncharged ...

Depending on whom you ask, fusion power is either already here (but no one will purchase my sekrit design!), never going to happen (so stop wasting money!), or a difficult problem that might be a ...

The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor has a new delayed schedule. First plasma is now slated for 2025 and the start of deuterium-tritium operation is set for 2035. First plasma was ...

In the world of fusion physics, two letters say it all: ‘L’ and ‘H’. All the cool kids play with the H-mode, which is hot and fiery and is our best prospect for achieving useable fusion energy. The ...
