Called the SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak (SMART), this reactor is part of the University of Seville’s effort to not only make fusion energy possible, but also economically competitive for grid ...
The startup also flipped the switch last month on its latest prototype, Polaris, which it anticipates will be the first fusion reactor to generate electricity. Polaris, Helion’s seventh ...
Helion Energy Inc., a startup working to develop commercial fusion reactors, today announced that it has closed a $425 million late-stage funding round. The Series F deal included the ...
It could pave the way for the successful operation of ITER, the world’s largest nuclear fusion reactor under construction in France. Runaway electrons are negatively charged particles that can ...
A Stockholm-based company has partnered with Oxford Sigma, a UK-based firm to advance fusion power plant technology. The collaboration will accelerate Novatron Fusion Group’s development of ...
One of the scientific teams helping to develop a Chinese nuclear fusion reactor capable of producing unlimited power has unveiled a device they say will be key to testing whether the facility can ...
Fusion reactor materials also become radioactive as they are bombarded with highly energetic particles. Researchers need to design new materials that can decay within a few years to levels of ...
Fusion-fission hybrid reactors represent an innovative approach to energy generation, combining the benefits of both fusion and fission processes. These reactors aim to enhance energy production ...
Fusion reactors superheat hydrogen atoms to extremely high temperatures, forming a charged gas called plasma. Using magnetic fields or lasers to compress the plasma, they force the atoms to fuse ...
fusion reactor has succeeded in maintaining a plasma with a temperature of over 100 million degrees Celsius for just under 18 minutes. Plasma operation was maintained for 1,066 seconds ...
The latest injection of funds will be directed towards manufacturing components in-house, including capacitors for energy storage and magnetic coils for its prototype fusion reactor. That follows ...
