A Sweden-based firm has launched a plasma confinement project to achieve commercially viable fusion energy. The TauEB project by Novatron Fusion Group aims to revolutionize plasma confinement and ...

It’s rarely appreciated just how much more complicated nuclear fusion is than nuclear fission. Whereas the latter involves a process that happens all around us without any human involvement, and where ...

Although the idea of containing a plasma within a magnetic field seems straightforward at first, plasmas are highly dynamic systems that will happily escape magnetic confinement if given half a chance ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time inside ...

Fusion startups are racing to prove that they can bottle the power of the stars without the sprawling magnets or precision ...

For decades, nuclear fusion has been described as the holy grail of clean power, a way to generate vast amounts of energy by ...

Centrifugal Magnetic Mirrors could enable commercial nuclear fusion reactors on Earth and are also promising for next level propulsion in space. There is funded near term work for both goals. An early ...

(Editor’s note: The following article originally appeared in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists in October, 1971. It is reprinted here in full in November 2024—so readers can get a sense of how ...

Scientists have further developed a way of controlling nuclear fusion reactions, marking another forward step in the rush to achieve a clean, virtually limitless source of energy. Nuclear fusion ...
