China’s Institute of Modern Physics, part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is building what it calls the world’s first ...

A persistent asymmetry in fusion exhaust has challenged researchers for years. New simulations show that plasma core rotation, working together with cross-field drifts, determines where particles land ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Scientists in the US have developed a new glowing surrogate nuclear reactor that replaces dangerous neutron-driven reactions with ...

The liquid-fueled molten salt reactors such as the MSRE and the TMSR-LF have distinguishing dynamic features compared with solid-fueled reactors, such that conventional system analysis codes are not ...

The insides of nuclear fusion reactors are violent and chaotic places. A new cold-spray coating can take the heat and also trap some rogue hydrogen particles at the same time, potentially making for ...

The PROSPECT-I detector in operation at Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s High Flux Isotope Reactor. Designed to be as close to the reactor core as possible, this unique instrument performed precise ...

Science X is a network of high quality websites with most complete and comprehensive daily coverage of the full sweep of science, technology, and medicine news ...

FLARE is designed primarily to generate commercial electricity, and early analysis indicates favourable economics based on power generation alone. Surplus tritium could help ease one of the industry’s ...

Fusion energy promises clean power by mimicking stars. Scientists are focusing on the reactor wall's edge, where plasma meets ...

The first European pressurized water reactors are expected to be switched on next year, but they have been hit by redesigns, cost hikes and delays, as Michael Banks reports Waiting game Hinkley Point ...
