For decades, nuclear fusion has been touted as the clean energy solution of the distant future but, thanks to advances in the field, this technology might be fully scalable within the next 10 years.

The quest for fusion energy is getting more intensified with each passing day. Several developments have taken place in this sphere lately, and General Atomics (GA) is the latest in the arena to ...

There are lots of different ways to “squeeze” the fuel in a fusion reactor, but Zap’s approach—the jargon-laden “sheared-flow-stabilized Z-pinch system”—involves sending a jolt of ...

Researchers explored protective coatings to resist corrosion in fusion reactors. They tested -Al2O3 oxide layers on ODS alloys in a high-temperature, flowing lithium-lead environment.

Building a working nuclear fusion reactor has proven to be a daunting challenge even for multiple wealthy nations, as we've seen with the much -delayed ITER project. However, a private start-up ...

Japanese start-up Helical Fusion aims to launch the world's first steady-state nuclear fusion reactor in 2034 and to begin commercial operations in the 2040s, its CEO told Reuters.
