Scientists have long seen a puzzling pattern in tokamaks, the doughnut-shaped machines that could one day reliably generate electricity from fusing atoms. When plasma particles escape the core of the ...

Small, possibly portable, nuclear reactors that can’t melt down are moving toward reality in the United States, with what may ...

Chinese scientists break a historic barrier and achieve the highest plasma density in a nuclear fusion reactor.

At the same time, a current of cold electrons travels toward the heated plasma from the opposite direction. When the two meet, the plasma develops filament-shaped instabilities that SLAC’s facilities ...

This is where Godzilla earns its keep. Standing four meters tall and capable of lifting 2.3 metric tons, Godzilla is the ultimate testbed. Starting in March 2026, the robot will begin testing over 30 ...

Researchers at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility have identified a new method to tame ...

Scientists are using non-thermal plasma to produce fertiliser and long-chain hydrocarbons. Mason Wakley talks to the chemists ...

The coming decades of space exploration hinge on a single, stubborn number: the 225 million kilometres between Earth and Mars ...

Nuclear fusion combines light hydrogen atoms to release energy, similar to the sun's processes. Fusion reactors are inherently safe as they cannot melt down, unlike fission reactors. Achieving ...

Helion Energy says it has reached plasma temperatures of 150 million degrees Celsius, a milestone that has reignited debate over whether private fusion companies can deliver on aggressive commercial ...

What if the key to solving humanity’s energy crisis has been hiding in plain sight, dismissed for decades as an impossible dream? In this overview, Two Bit da Vinci explores how Zap Energy is ...
