Japan has officially launched the largest experimental nuclear fusion reactor in the world. The JT-60SA reactor is a new experimental platform that aims to harness fusion energy, a renewable energyContinue Reading
Fusion energy has a key advantage over conventional nuclear energy: it doesn’t create radioactive waste that’s expensive and difficult to dispose of. A team of scientists at the Culham CentreContinue Reading
Energy startup Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS), an MIT spinout, has unveiled plans to construct the first grid-scale nuclear fusion power plant near Richmond, Virginia. With a target of producing 400Continue Reading
China’s nuclear fusion reactor, known as the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), has achieved a groundbreaking milestone. Scientists confined plasma at temperatures exceeding 100 million degrees Celsius for an impressiveContinue Reading
MIT researchers are asserting that their magnet-based fusion energy design, which was previously hailed as a breakthrough, is not only successful in a controlled environment but also feasible and cost-effective.Continue Reading
Replicating the Sun’s energy-generating process on Earth presents a formidable challenge. Unlike the Sun’s core, where immense gravity confines the fusion reaction, terrestrial reactors require a different approach. To overcomeContinue Reading
There are two ways to generate electricity from nuclear power. The first is nuclear fission, which is the primary source of power in the world today, accounting for around 10%Continue Reading
British engineers are preparing to test the fuel mix that could one day power the largest nuclear fusion experiment in the world. Researchers at the Joint European Torus (JET), aContinue Reading
