Fusion startup Helion is reportedly in talks to sell power to OpenAI. Both companies are backed by Sam Altman. The deal, ...

We may have been missing signals from intelligent aliens because of solar wind. Researchers from the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute say this means we have been watching for ...

New Zealand-based fusion energy startup OpenStar Technologies says it has become the first commercial company in the world to successfully create and confine plasma using a levitated dipole reactor.

What if the key to solving humanity’s energy crisis has been hiding in plain sight, dismissed for decades as an impossible dream? In this overview, Two Bit da Vinci explores how Zap Energy is ...

The big picture: For decades, the promise of fusion power seemed just out of reach – a theoretical miracle of physics that stubbornly refused to move from blueprint to breaker box. Yet in laboratories ...

EAST’s accomplishment is notable since the density limit has long prevented researchers from increasing plasma density past a certain point. Higher plasma density has historically been associated with ...

On the sandy shores of Lake Michigan, set against a backdrop of thick forest, a sharp-angled grey concrete building could be the face of an American nuclear renaissance. The Palisades nuclear plant, ...

A financial crisis could be triggered by an announcement that aliens exist, according to Helen McCaw, a former policy expert of the Bank of England. McCaw told The Times of London that politicians and ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: The plasma density barrier is a mathematical limit to the density of plasma that can exist in a tokamak before destabilizing. A new study led by a ...

Researchers working on China’s ‘artificial sun’ have reported breaking a long-accepted threshold that has limited the operation of nuclear fusion reactors for decades. China’s Experimental Advanced ...

China's EAST nuclear fusion reactor has successfully kept plasma stable at extreme densities, passing a major fusion milestone and potentially bringing humanity closer to wielding near-limitless clean ...

Scientists at China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) program rang in the new year with a stunning accomplishment: empirical evidence that they used the device to achieve nuclear ...
