JT-60SA continues to strengthen its scientific programme as Europe and Japan prepare the next phase of experimental work on ...

This work has been carried out within the framework of the EUROfusion Consortium, funded by the European Union via the Euratom Research and Training Programme (Grant Agreement No 101052200 — ...

X, the stellarator experiment in Greifswald, Germany, has built on knowledge gained from its predecessors to demonstrate the ...

Current fusion experiments were primarily designed to investigate plasma physics. However, DEMO must demonstrate the necessary technologies not only for controlling a more powerful plasma than has ...

International experiments at the UK fusion machine MAST Upgrade in Culham, led by Dutch researchers, demonstrate how the innovative 'Super-X' design offers major advantages in handling the heat ...

The alternative divertor configuration (ADC) programme of EUROfusion has reached a significant milestone, gaining strong visibility through multiple publications in high-impact scientific journals and ...

In fission, energy is gained by splitting heavy atoms, for example uranium, into smaller atoms such as iodine, caesium, strontium, xenon and barium, to name just a few. However, fusion is combining ...

Our current energy landscape is heavily dependent on the fast-depleting fossil fuels, with 80% of the global energy consumption being based on fossil fuels, and changing this dependence is critical to ...

On May 22, 2025, the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) stellarator achieved a world record for the triple product in long plasma discharges, a critical measure of fusion performance. With the support of ...

Scientists and engineers from eight nations have carried out a project using lasers on the Joint European Torus (JET) to study fusion fuel retention. Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS), an ...

Future fusion power plants may experience fewer energy losses in their burning plasma due to instabilities than previously anticipated, according to a study by EUROfusion researchers published in ...
