The goal of the project is to generate low-pollution electricity. MIT scientists are building a revolutionary new power plant ...

The new material could be key to finally building a successful fusion reactor.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have turned to nanoparticles of certain ceramic compounds to line the vessels of nuclear fusion reactors to make them more durable ...

Creating and sustaining fusion reactions—essentially recreating star-like conditions on Earth—is extremely difficult, and ...

Meanwhile, the SPARC nuclear fusion reactor, a US project involving MIT, is currently in development in Devens, Massachusetts and scheduled to start operations in 2026. South Korea also has ...

Helion's unorthodox approach to fusion power and relative secrecy has earned it plenty of fans — and critics. But don’t count ...

At this point the Joint European Torus (JET) reactor holds the world record ... Alcator C-Mod would continue to be used for fusion research at MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC ...

Such issues have led to a resurgence of interest in a third nuclear option, which combines aspects of both technologies in the form of the fusion–fission hybrid reactor. The fusion–fission ...

"EAST is just a scientific experimental device, and our ultimate goal is to build a commercially viable nuclear fusion reactor," he added. Gong explained that three conditions must be met to build ...

fusion reactor has succeeded in maintaining a plasma with a temperature of over 100 million degrees Celsius for just under 18 minutes. Plasma operation was maintained for 1,066 seconds ...

Such neutron beams could, until now, only be produced by nuclear reactors. The £200m programme is part of a wider project to build the world’s first nuclear fusion reactor in the UK.
