The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Ignition Facility increased the yield of the experiment in recent attempts.

A team of researchers from The University of Texas at Austin, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and Type One Energy Group has ...

A physics breakthrough could supercharge fusion power development by solving a decades-old particle containment issue.

Abundant, low-cost, clean energy—the envisioned result if scientists and engineers can successfully produce a reliable method ...

it can no longer sustain the fusion reaction, resulting in a loss of energy production. To prevent this, scientists and ...

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in magnetic confinement that could potentially quicken the advancement for fusion ...

Their work was focused mostly on improving the field-reversed configuration (FRC), a magnetic confinement technique. As the researchers note, generating fusion reactions involves first generating ...

As covered previously, plasma stability is a problem with the popular approach of tokamak-based magnetic confinement fusion (MCF). Although this core problem has now been largely addressed ...

The road to those milestones has proven extraordinarily costly. Though General Fusion’s tally may seem impressive, it is ...
