A fusion experiment ran so hot that the wall materials facing the plasma retained defects. Christophe Roux/CEA IRFM, CC BY Fusion energy has the potential to be an effective clean energy source, as ...

New fusion simulations of the inside of a tokamak reveal the ideal spot for a 'cave' with flowing liquid lithium is near the bottom by the center stack, as the evaporating metal particles should land ...

Fusion power could solve the world's energy problems. The issue is making it work in a cost-effective way. A new breakthrough ...

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 ...

Scientists in the US have introduced a novel artificial intelligence (AI) approach that can protect fusion reactors from the extreme heat generated by plasma. The new method, which is called HEAT-ML, ...

In the lowest capital cost scenario of US $2.8K/kW in 2050, fusion’s share of electricity generation could reach up to 50% by 2100. Even in the highest cost scenario of US $11.3K/kW, fusion energy is ...

The exhaust heat generated by a fusing plasma in a commercial-scale reactor may not be as damaging to the vessel's innards as once thought, according to new research about escaping plasma particles.

Recently, researchers have been running computer simulations to find the best place for a lithium vapor “cave” inside the fusion vessel. To achieve commercial fusion, every part of the doughnut-shaped ...
