Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Type One Energy and the University of Tennessee in Knoxville are partnering to ...

Researchers at the new campus coming to the former Bull Run coal plant in Clinton will test how materials react under intense ...

Nuclear fusion has moved from punchline to pitch deck, with tech giants, oil majors and governments all racing to claim a ...

When the US Department of Energy announced that it would stop funding the tokamak at MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center, Dennis Whyte considered giving up on fusion research. But then he had a ...

Standing on Past Discoveries Fusion science isn’t new. The first successful deuterium-deuterium (D-D) fusion experiment dates back to 1934. Back then, scientists bombarded metal targets coated in ...

China's EAST nuclear fusion reactor has successfully kept plasma stable at extreme densities, passing a major fusion ...

But on January 1, researchers working on China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) — often dubbed the ...

Type One Energy and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UT), are partnering to establish a world-class high-heat flux ...

Fusion energy has the potential to be an effective clean energy source, as its reactions generate incredibly large amounts of energy. Fusion reactors aim to reproduce on Earth what happens in the core ...

Left: geometry of the SPARC tokamak showing the pump volume and the “louver” actuator that restricts gas flow between the plasma and pumping chambers. Right: neutral gas pressure increases strongly ...

Fusion scientists and AI leaders warn that a growing STEM skills gap could undermine the future energy and technology workforce, calling for urgent education and training reforms.

It’s fair to say that Bob Rosner, the former chair of the Bulletin’s Science and Security Board, is something of a skeptic when it comes to the more optimistic claims about fusion becoming a ...
