A breakthrough experiment revealed how plasma turbulence spreads heat inside fusion reactors, solving a decades-old problem ...

The generation of fusion energy utilizes the fusion reaction that occurs inside a high-temperature plasma. In order to achieve the generation of fusion energy, we confine plasma in the magnetic field ...

At the farthest edge of the Sun’s influence, the Voyager probes have stumbled into something that sounds almost mythic: a ...

In fusion power generation, it is essential that the high-energy particles generated by a fusion reaction in hot plasma heat it to sustain further fusion reactions. The key to this self-heating of the ...

Type One Energy, a University of Wisconsin-Madison nuclear fusion spinoff company, is partnering with the Tennessee Valley ...

Chinese scientists have unveiled a superconducting linear plasma device designed to test materials for nuclear fusion reactors. The Superconducting Plasma Wall Interaction Linear Device (SWORD) boasts ...

Physicists have spent decades chasing two grand technological dreams: harnessing fusion power and uncovering the nature of ...

The exhaust heat generated by a fusing plasma in a commercial-scale reactor may not be as damaging to the vessel's innards as once thought, according to new research about escaping plasma particles.

The detection is detailed in a new study published in the journal Physical Review Letters. Immediately following the Big Bang, the universe was an extremely hot, concentrated plasma of elementary ...

Physicists have found evidence of X particles in the quark-gluon plasma produced in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, based near Geneva, ...
