Five independent teams of researchers have reviewed the work and claims made by a group at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) who announced in December 2022 that they had achieved the first ...
China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak has pushed fusion research into a new regime by holding a high density plasma stably beyond long accepted limits. The result, achieved on the EAST ...
What if the next new theory of the universe didn’t come from a human mind, but from an artificial one? In a development that has left the scientific community both awestruck and unsettled, artificial ...
Three researchers from the US Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have been awarded the 2025 ...
Quantum field theories are powerful tools for particle physics and condensed matter physics but are rarely used in plasma physics. However, in warm-dense regimes, where matter is partially ionized and ...
Type One Energy, a University of Wisconsin-Madison nuclear fusion spinoff company, is partnering with the Tennessee Valley ...
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 ...
