Physicists have spent decades chasing two grand technological dreams: harnessing fusion power and uncovering the nature of dark matter. A new theoretical paper now suggests those quests might collide ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Researchers in Germany are developing a new electrochemical method to coat fusion reactors with ...

Tungsten's superior performance in extreme environments makes it a leading candidate for plasma-facing components (PFCs) in ...

EAST’s accomplishment is notable since the density limit has long prevented researchers from increasing plasma density past a certain point. Higher plasma density has historically been associated with ...

The UK’s push to build a working fusion power plant has moved closer to ...

Fusion startups have raised $7.1 billion to date, with the majority of it going to a handful of companies.

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 ...
