Nuclear fusion, which is the source of the energy released from the Sun is considered the ultimate energy source even on Earth.

In a pioneering approach to achieve fusion energy, the SMART device has successfully generated its first tokamak plasma. This step brings the international fusion community closer to achieving ...

At the same time, it must maintain a temperature at the plasma edge that is cool enough to avoid vaporizing the fusion device. New studies have found that using louvers at the bottom of the fusion ...

It should have been bigger news. When the National Ignition Facility conducted a successful fusion experiment, we got a front-row seat to what could happen if this technology is ever perfected.

Right: neutral gas pressure increases strongly with the louver closed. A power-producing fusion plasma must reach a temperature at its center hotter than the core of the Sun. At the same time ...
