The new material could be key to finally building a successful fusion reactor.

The Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak (MAST) got a big upgrade to test a new cooled divertor design. JET (Joint European Torus) will be testing the deuterium-tritium fuel mixture that will be powering ...

A 1 MW gyrotron, developed and manufactured by Kyoto Fusioneering in Japan, has been delivered to Tokamak Energy’s ST40 spherical tokamak facility. “ The new gyrotron will generate high ...

The Globus-M2 spherical tokamak that Bakharev his team are working on may be an important first step towards this goal. Tokamaks confine plasma – a hot, ionized gas – using magnetic fields ...

UKIFS launches search for exceptional talent to shape the future of fusion energy UK Industrial Fusion Solutions (UKIFS), the organisation responsible ...

The breakthrough was made possible by Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF), a cutting-edge technology that uses a mechanical plasma compression system inside a spherical tokamak reactor. Instead of ...

The fusion physicist Ian Chapman is to be the next head of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) – the UK’s biggest public research funder. He will take up the position in June, replacing the geniticist ...

The UK is also planning to build a fusion power plant dubbed the Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production, or Step, which aims to achieve first plasma by 2035, and to begin powering homes at some ...
