This cross section of ITER shows the inner walls of the fusion system. New experimental results suggest that sprinkling boron powder into the vessel could protect the inner walls from the plasma’s ...

A team at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility led by a William & Mary physicist has made a significant advancement in physics understanding that represents a key step toward practical fusion energy.

For decades, scientists have dreamed of creating a miniature version of the sun on Earth – a machine capable of producing limitless, clean energy through atomic fusion rather than fission. That dream, ...

Fusion energy, long considered the holy grail of clean energy solutions, is closer to reality than ever before. With recent technological advancements and a global push for sustainable energy sources, ...

Nuclear fusion, the process that powers the Sun, has the potential to generate clean and abundant energy. However, it requires two atomic nuclei to collide head-on at high energies, and current fusion ...
