The U.S. Department of Energy now has two major supercomputing systems aimed at accelerating fusion energy research through ...

On 1 August, the Korea Institute of Fusion Energy(KFE) announced that a new fusion simulation code was developed to project and analyze the Toroidal-Alfvén-Eigenmode (TAE). In TAE, instabilities occur ...

“A sun of our own and it’s made in Britain!” crowed the headline. The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) believed its 120-ton experimental reactor Zeta was almost certainly generating neutrons from ...

Creating efficient, self-sustaining fusion power requires good confinement of the heat in the plasma. Plasma confinement is limited by particle and energy losses due to turbulence. A new analysis used ...

For as long as scientists have been trying to understand the behavior of the electrically charged fourth state of matter ...

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 ...

Novatron was one of 30 private fusion initiatives to attend the Inaugural Private Sector Fusion Workshop, which was held from 27 to 29 May in Cadarache, France at the headquarters of the ITER ...

This article was originally featured on The Conversation. Fusion energy has the potential to be an effective clean energy source, as its reactions generate incredibly large amounts of energy. Fusion ...
