Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory have set a new fusion record on the WEST tokamak, sustaining plasma at roughly 50 million degrees Celsius for six ...

For decades, one of fusion energy’s hardest problems has been keeping superheated plasma from blasting holes in reactor walls. A United States team working on the DIII-D tokamak now reports using ...

Helion becomes the first privately developed fusion energy machine to demonstrate measurable deuterium-tritium (D-T) fusion.

Harnessing the power of the sun holds the promise of providing future societies with energy abundance. To make this a reality, fusion researchers need to address many technological challenges. For ...

Scientists at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility have identified a physics-based method to suppress damaging energy bursts.

The discussion about nuclear fusion has long involved its potential to create limitless amounts of energy. Thea Energy is one of several companies working to turn that potential into reality.

Tammy Ma, director the Livermore Institute for Fusion Technology, can explain why her work with nuclear fusion is a step toward abundant clean energy.
