After more than a decade of fabrication and testing, the sixth and final module of ITER’s central solenoid has arrived at the fusion reactor’s construction site in Saint-Paul-lès-Durance, southern ...

In the assembly hall of the ITER fusion complex in Saint-Paul-lès-Durance, France, a crane lowered the final module of the central solenoid into position in late spring 2026, completing a vertical ...

Nuclear fusion may be closer to commercialization than previously thought, with private firms targeting operational reactors in the early 2030s. Major technical and economic hurdles remain, including ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia have shown that a small bench-top reactor can enhance nuclear fusion rates by electrochemically loading a metal with deuterium fuel. Unlike massive ...

The final components of ITER's central solenoid magnet -- a 59-foot, 3,000-tonne superconducting system 15 years in the making -- have arrived in France, clearing a major path toward first plasma.

German startup Proxima Fusion — whose team includes engineers from MIT, Google, SpaceX, and McLaren — has unveiled a fusion energy reactor design it believes offers the quickest route to commercially ...

Once complete, ITER will run fusion experiments using five times as much plasma as the largest reactors in operation today. Reading time 2 minutes Stakeholders around the world are vying to realize ...

The industry is getting billions, but it’s way too early to count on fusion to meet growing electricity demand. This week, Commonwealth Fusion Systems announced it has another customer for its first ...

General Fusion announced on Tuesday that it had successfully created plasma, a superheated fourth state of matter required for fusion, inside a prototype reactor. The milestone marks the beginning of ...
