Founder Ratu Mataira is convinced OpenStar can outpace rivals with its cheaper reactor design.
The US Army just transported its first small reactor for testing, and the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champlain is working ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...

China breaks a historic barrier in nuclear fusion, bringing the dream of nearly infinite energy closer to reality.
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 ...
Chinese scientists break a historic barrier and achieve the highest plasma density in a nuclear fusion reactor.
Helion Energy achieved temperatures of about 270 million degrees Fahrenheit as it works towards developing fusion power.
Scientists at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility have identified a physics-based method to suppress damaging energy bursts.
