The achievement shows kinetic energy from charged exhaust particles can be converted into useful electricity, but it's still not a working commercial reactor.

Fusion energy has spent decades trapped in an expensive cycle of trial and error. Now, a Chinese startup believes AI-powered ...

Researchers were unsure whether alpha particles would aid or hinder fusion. Simulations suggest they help, by dampening ...

Scientists at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory have used extreme-scale computer simulations to suggest that heat striking the walls of future fusion reactors could spread across a much wider area ...

A research team led by Prof. Guo Bin from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has designed and optimized an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) system specifically for ...

An innovative algorithm for detecting collisions of high-speed particles within nuclear fusion reactors has been developed, inspired by technologies used to determine whether bullets hit targets in ...

Fusion energy commercialization is now blocked not by plasma physics but by two missing engineering facilities: a neutron ...
