An innovative algorithm for detecting collisions of high-speed particles within nuclear fusion reactors has been developed, inspired by technologies used to determine whether bullets hit targets in ...

Aiden MacMillan, a 12-year-old from Texas, may have done what many scientists are still striving to achieve. He claims to have generated nuclear fusion outside the famed tokamaks, the massive reactors ...

Recent breakthroughs in plasma density and duration at facilities in China, France, and South Korea have removed key technical barriers to fusion development. Major international projects like ITER, ...

The promise of nuclear fusion feels simple. Just as stars fuse hydrogen into heavier elements to produce energy, a fusion reactor generates massive amounts of energy by combining lightweight particles ...

Inside a vast, hangar-like building in Devens, a trio of employees are working to test and assemble the pieces of what is likely one of the most advanced machines being built on Earth. One part of a ...
