Tokamak Energy is testing a new laser designed to keep hotter-than-the-sun plasma stable as it pursues the 'holy grail' of ...
The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is seeking a consultant to draw up a conceptual masterplan for an ...
Commercial nuclear fusion has gone from science fiction to science fact in less than a decade. Even well-informed members of ...
The decommissioning of a "world-leading" nuclear fusion reactor has begun after 40 years of operation. The Joint European Torus (JET) facility in Culham, Oxfordshire, ended experiments in December.
The UK government has declined an invitation to become an official member of the ITER nuclear fusion experiment, having lost access to the project following Brexit. Instead, it plans to focus on ...
Longview Fusion Energy Systems, one of several startup companies working on laser-driven fusion, says it has agreed a deal with the construction firm Fluor to design the world's first commercial laser ...
Unlike fission — the process harnessed by nuclear power stations in which atoms are split — fusion produces no long-lived nuclear waste. The only gas emitted is helium, the isotopes can be sourced in ...
The new laser-based dispersion interferometer system is currently being tested at Tokamak Energy’s Oxford headquarters before being installed on its fusion machine ST40 later this year.
Longview Fusion Energy, a firm leveraging the recent fusion breakthrough at the National Ignition Facility (NIF), has secured a contract with engineering, procurement, and construction specialist ...
Scientists have used artificial intelligence to overcome a huge challenge for producing near-limitless clean energy with nuclear fusion. A team from Princeton University in the US figured out a ...
The Joint European Torus (JET) facility in Culham, Oxfordshire, ended experiments in December. In its last test, the reactor produced a record amount of energy. It is expected to take about 12 ...
The Fusion Industry Association reports that at least 25 companies “ think the first fusion plant will deliver electricity to the grid before 2035.” It notes: “Companies are increasingly ...
