Scientists say the path to commercial fusion power may hinge on better ways to measure the behavior of superheated plasma.

A persistent asymmetry in fusion exhaust has challenged researchers for years. New simulations show that plasma core rotation, working together with cross-field drifts, determines where particles land ...

A materials expert told Friends of ORNL that advanced nuclear reactors need 21st-century materials to withstand extreme ...

Fusion power has long been sold as the technology that could light our cities with the same process that powers the stars. Now a new line of research suggests those same reactors might also be ...

Fusion power, long hailed as the holy grail of clean energy, has faced decades of scientific and engineering challenges. Recent breakthroughs, however, have brought this dream closer to reality than ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Scientists in the US have introduced a novel artificial intelligence (AI) approach that can protect fusion reactors from the ...

A British company has validated the high tritium breeding performance of the FLARE concept, ...

FLARE is designed primarily to generate commercial electricity, and early analysis indicates favourable economics based on power generation alone. Surplus tritium could help ease one of the industry’s ...

First Light Fusion has validated tritium breeding in its FLARE reactor, a step toward solving the tritium supply challenge for scalable fusion energy.

Ion beams can now qualify nuclear reactor materials up to 1,000 times faster than ...
