Fusion startups are racing to prove that they can bottle the power of the stars without the sprawling magnets or precision particle beams that defined earlier generations of reactors. Instead of ...

The proposal would add a fusion-specific pathway within the byproduct material framework (10 C.F.R. Part 30). The NRC describes the rule as “technology-inclusive.” The rule accommodates the wide ...

This company says its pulsed plasma machine will deliver electricity to the grid by 2029. Some physicists warn that its ...

About 60 years ago, Russian physicist Lev Artsimovich said nuclear fusion “will be ready when society needs it”. The UK has achieved a “major breakthrough for fusion energy research”, the UK Atomic ...

The UK Atomic Energy Authority has begun using two additive manufacturing - or 3D printing - machines that use complementary methods to manufacture highly specialised components for fusion machines.

We are on the cusp of putting fusion energy directly onto the grid. After decades of research and development, first-of-a-kind fusion systems are finally being proven. Fusion is expected to be a $1 ...

The world’s newest flagship fusion machine has barely finished proving it can work, and already it is heading into a long pause. After a high profile debut campaign that cost hundreds of millions of ...

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) released a proposed rule establishing a regulatory framework for fusion machines under its existing byproduct materials framework at 10 CFR Part 30.

Tungsten's superior performance in extreme environments makes it a leading candidate for plasma-facing components (PFCs) in fusion reactors, but the ultra-high heat can damage its microscopic ...
