We've only known about nuclear fusion for around 100 years; now, one project in France is closer than ever to making fusion power it a reality.

Nuclear fusion — the process that occurs in the heart of stars to fuel them — is now one step closer to being harnessed as a new source of energy. Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory ...

The cryogenics industry has a fundamental role to play in crafting the conceptual design for the UK’s Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production facility. Joe McEntee reports Fusion pathway Schematic ...

Last month, the nearest star to the Earth was in California. In a laboratory, for the first time, the world's largest lasers forced atoms of hydrogen to fuse together in the same kind of energy ...

First tokamak plasma at the SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak – SMART – recorded with a fast-framing camera in the visible spectral range. In a pioneering approach to achieve fusion energy, the SMART device ...

Scientist have taken one more step in making the use of fusion energy a reality. Researchers at the Joint European Torus Laboratory in Oxfordshire were able to produce 59 megajoules of heat from a ...

The UK has announced a new delivery body to accelerate the development of nuclear fusion, which could one-day provide Britain with a near-limitless source of clean energy. Science Minister George ...

Five sites - one in Scotland and four in England - have been shortlisted to host the UK's prototype fusion energy plant - the Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production. The site of the demonstration ...

A collaboration between the UK Atomic Energy Authority, Dell Technologies, Intel and the University of Cambridge will explore how supercomputers and artificial intelligence technologies with advanced ...
