Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: In the race for clean energy, no technology is quite as promising as nuclear fusion, but the road toward energy freedom is filled with barriers that ...

China’s flagship fusion experiment has pushed its superheated fuel into a regime that many physicists once dismissed as unattainable, reaching a plasma density that earlier models said would tear the ...

Nuclear fusion reactors rely on powerful superconducting magnets that must function under intense magnetic fields and at temperatures approaching absolute zero. These extreme conditions place ...

Avalanche Energy is working on an DARPA project to build a new class of materials capable of turning damaging radiation into ...

China has advanced its nuclear fusion program by developing and successfully testing the largest ever radiation-proof robot, capable of performing maintenance in massive fusion facilities. The global ...

China plans to launch commercial operations at the world’s first small modular reactor (SMR) to generate nuclear energy as early as in the first half of 2026, according to the president of the China ...

Getting a significant energy return from tokamak-based nuclear fusion reactors depends for a large part on plasma density, but increasing said density is tricky, as beyond a certain point the plasma ...

From the world’s first in-reactor thorium breeding confirmation to a dual PWR-HTGR plant and commercial supercritical CO₂ generation, China is assembling a vertically integrated advanced nuclear ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: The plasma density barrier is a mathematical limit to the density of plasma that can exist in a tokamak before destabilizing. A new study led by a ...
