A viable nuclear fusion reactor — one that spits out more energy than it consumes — could be here as soon as 2025. That's the takeaway of seven new studies, published Sept. 29 in the Journal of Plasma ...

Commonwealth Fusion Systems said Tuesday at CES 2026 that it has installed the first superconducting magnet for its Sparc fusion reactor, a key milestone for the experimental system the company aims ...

Scientists have developed a lightning-fast AI tool called HEAT-ML that can spot hidden “safe zones” inside a fusion reactor where parts are protected from blistering plasma heat. Finding these areas, ...

Scientists in the US have introduced a novel artificial intelligence (AI) approach that can protect fusion reactors from the extreme heat generated by plasma. The new method, which is called HEAT-ML, ...

“AI factories and data centers require gigawatts of electric power,” said Siemens CEO Roland Busch today at CES 2026. “What if we had an energy source that was clean, safe, affordable, and practically ...

Scientists at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne have developed a solution that prevents fusion reactors from overheating, Phys.org reported. The breakthrough centers on a clever design called ...

Inside a vast, hangar-like building in Devens, a trio of employees are working to test and assemble the pieces of what is likely one of the most advanced machines being built on Earth. One part of a ...

Google LLC’s DeepMind research unit is partnering with the nuclear fusion startup Commonwealth Fusion Systems LLC to see if it can help it generate almost unlimited amounts of clean energy using its ...
