The race is on to harness the near-infinite power of nuclear fusion—by building a star on Earth. And scientists are closer ...

The 330-tonne cryostat will be fitted with reflective super insulation before being transferred to the magnet cold test ...

Over the past five years, private-sector funding for fusion energy has exploded. The total invested is approaching US$10 ...

Condensed-matter physics is the study of substances in their solid state. This includes the investigation of both crystalline solids in which the atoms are positioned on a repeating three-dimensional ...

As stellarator configurations are challenging to build, most fusion experiments today are tokamaks (a short form for a Russian expression that translates as ‘toroidal chamber with magnetic coils’).

A network of optical cavities could be used to detect gravitational waves (GWs) in an unexplored range of frequencies, according to researchers in the UK. Using technology already within reach, the ...
