The U.S. Department of Energy now has two major supercomputing systems aimed at accelerating fusion energy research through artificial intelligence. Argonne National Laboratory’s Aurora exascale ...

Creating efficient, self-sustaining fusion power requires good confinement of the heat in the plasma. Plasma confinement is limited by particle and energy losses due to turbulence. A new analysis used ...

“A sun of our own and it’s made in Britain!” crowed the headline. The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) believed its 120-ton experimental reactor Zeta was almost certainly generating neutrons from ...

The rapid rise of AI is both straining global energy systems and accelerating the race to achieve commercial nuclear fusion, ...

The research team of Assistant Professor Masahiko Sato and Professor Yasushi Todo of the National Institutes of Natural Sciences (NINS) National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS) has succeeded using ...

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, ...
