Fusion has long been the propulsion end-goal for interplanetary travel, and a U.K.-based company thinks on its way to achieving that dream.

The final cryopump for the ITER fusion project has been successfully delivered to France. Series production began in 2020 following a pre-production unit, with the first pumps delivered last year.

a superheated fourth state of matter required for fusion, inside a prototype reactor. The milestone marks the beginning of a 93-week quest to prove that the outfit’s steampunk approach to fusion ...

A commercial fusion reactor is expected to need tonnes of the element every day. “However, these challenges pale in comparison to the bigger challenges with plasma reactors and laser ignition ...

Fusion on the other hand does not create any long-lived radioactive nuclear waste. A fusion reactor produces helium, which is an inert gas. It also produces and consumes tritium within the plant in a ...

With the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) as the most visible part of nuclear fusion research, it is perhaps little wonder that the recent string of delays and budget ...

the moment when a nuclear fusion reactor will produce more power than is required to drive the fusion process in the first place. At this point the Joint European Torus (JET) reactor holds the ...

“Pulsar has built a reputation for delivering real technology—not just concepts ... bit like comparing apples and oranges. While fusion reactors need to pump out neutrons near-continuously ...
