Investments in this field could transform how we generate power. Google-backed project gets big funding boost in pursuit of ...

Plasma Energy Spheres, also referred to as plasma wave generators, create a "plasma energy field" where the person in the middle of the spheres either sits or lays down.

Breakthroughs from two rival experiments, Germany’s Wendelstein 7-X and the Joint European Torus, suggest the elusive dream of controlled nuclear fusion may be within reach ...

Published in the Physical Review Letters, the study presents a new family of optimized fields that display tokamak-like ...

Google has agreed to purchase 200 megawatts of fusion energy from Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS). That's assuming, of ...

The company raised $425 million in January 2025, around the same time that it turned on Polaris, a prototype reactor. Helion ...

Crucially, as the plasma energy decreased, the magnetic field lines were able to snap back. This compressed the plasma into a straight, narrow column not unlike a quasar's relativistic jet.

For instance, scientists suspected certain S-shaped bends in the sun's magnetic field packed a lot of magnetic energy that is released into the surrounding plasma, heating it up and accelerating ...

General Fusion has been working on its unique approach to producing clean energy for two decades, and it's now got something major to show for it. The company has created plasma in its prototype ...

Plasma—the electrically charged fourth state of matter—is at the heart of many important industrial processes, including those used to make computer chips and coat materials.

Providing capabilities found nowhere else in the world as it probes the physics behind magnetic reconnection, the Facility ...

Conventional accelerators use oscillating electric fields to drive charged particles to relativistic speeds. The Large Hadron ...
