For XRF analysis, fused bead creation via fusion provides a nearly perfect, homogeneous sample representation. This method is ideal for solid samples. Gas and electric fusion machines can be used to ...

A "mega-lab" that will aim to generate nuclear fusion power within just six years has been approved by the Chinese government. Once it's operational, the machine will generate 50 million amps of ...

A stellarator has twists and curves to help contain burning plasma "I remember a few people said that the place where Proxima is today was impossible," says Francesco Sciortino, the co-founder and CEO ...

For most of the past 70 years, fusion energy has been shorthand for a promise that never quite arrived, a running joke about a technology that was always a few decades away. That timeline has shifted.

The proposal would add a fusion-specific pathway within the byproduct material framework (10 C.F.R. Part 30). The NRC describes the rule as “technology-inclusive.” The rule accommodates the wide ...

The U.S. government has launched the process to develop a regulatory framework to develop fusion machines as emerging nuclear technologies. This step to advance fusion machines was announced Feb. 26 ...

A key component of a system that would deliver fusion energy in the U.S. has arrived at Commonwealth Fusion Systems’ (CFS) campus in Devens, Massachusetts. The company on October 28 said the first ...

We are on the cusp of putting fusion energy directly onto the grid. After decades of research and development, first-of-a-kind fusion systems are finally being proven. Fusion is expected to be a $1 ...

First Light Fusion says it has taken a major step towards solving one of the major engineering challenges behind the design of an inertial confinement fusion pilot power plant. First Light Fusion's ...

General Fusion announced on Tuesday that it had successfully created plasma, a superheated fourth state of matter required for fusion, inside a prototype reactor. The milestone marks the beginning of ...
