This sector module is next in line for insertion in the tokamak pit. The assembly suspended in vertical tooling is composed of vacuum vessel sector #6 at the center, which is surrounded by a thin ...

Let’s start with the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s National Ignition Facility (NIF)—arguably the largest, most ...

China's Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), known as the nation's artificial sun, set a global benchmark on ...

The world’s largest operating fusion tokamak is about to go quiet for several years, not because of failure, but because its builders want it to do far more than it managed on its first outing. After ...

Teams in France are assembling the core of ITER, the gigantic experiment that seeks to harness energy from fusion, similar to that of a star.

A nuclear fusion reactor in Germany has reached world record numbers for runtime. The tokamak dominates fusion research in 2025, but stellarators are making a comeback. A stellarator is still a donut ...

The race to recreate the sun’s power on Earth just hit a major milestone. Scientists operating a powerful fusion reactor, often nicknamed China’s “artificial sun,” set a world record that’s turning ...

China is racing forward in its effort to pave the way in fusion energy science, and state-sponsored media reported earlier this week that one of the country’s next-gen reactors is now under ...
