New stellarator brings commercial fusion power one step closer

A team of fusion researchers from TAE Technologies, Inc., in the United States, working with colleagues from the University of California, has developed a new type of fusion technology that, according to the company, produces 100 times the power of other designs while costing only half of the time to manage. Their study [...]

New stellarator brings commercial fusion power one step closer

As the climate crisis worsens and energy needs grow, scientists are racing to unlock a cleaner and safer energy future. Among the most promising solutions is nuclear fusion—an energy source that could one day power the world without releasing carbon or creating long-term radioactive waste. But fusion is hard to achieve. It demands extreme conditions, precise control, and technology that must meet tough, often conflicting, demands. That’s why a r…
