The ITER Agreement is deposited with the IAEA Director General. After ITER, demonstration fusion power plants, or DEMOs are being planned to show that controlled nuclear fusion can generate net ...

After all, achieving controlled nuclear fusion requires replicating the extreme conditions in stars so that isotopes can overcome their electrostatic repulsion (known as the Coulomb barrier ...

These systems now rank among the best in the world, and they’ve helped set multiple records in China’s fusion research,’ chief designer says.

NASA is not choosing hydrogen, electricity, or nuclear fusion as a desired fuel choice but exploring plasma-assisted ...

Traditional nuclear fusion methods require high temperatures and pressures, whereas the new method accomplishes fusion by using accurate laser pulses. The reaction completes itself within 20 ...

This top-tier directive has been widely hailed as "the starting gun for China's race to commercialize controlled nuclear ...

The study, appearing in Nuclear Fusion, evaluated actuator configurations, in particular those used to control neutral gas flowing in and out of the tokamak. A power-producing fusion plasma must ...

China Circulation-3 is a large-scale controlled nuclear fusion device, independently developed by China. Its energy generation principle is similar to the way the sun produces light and heat ...

Theoretically, Sunbird's tremendous speeds could cut mission times to Mars in half, from seven to eight months to about four.

In August 2023, U.S. Department of Energy scientists successfully replicated a historic nuclear fusion reaction, seemingly confirming the net energy gain in a fusion experiment first reported in ...
