Now scientists think fusion reactors could recreate theoretical dark matter particles, so-called axions, and give researchers a better handle on dark matter’s physical properties and behavior. One of ...

Reactors designed to produce energy from the fusion of atoms could have an unexpected scientific side benefit. An international team of researchers has shown that low-mass dark-sector particles, such ...

In August last year the control room at General Atomics had something to celebrate. A room full of scientists stood by their computers, took cell phone photos and cheered as their nuclear reactor ...

For decades, nuclear fusion has held the promise of clean, limitless energy. However, one persistent challenge has slowed progress: the inability to reliably contain the high-energy particles needed ...

Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS), a spinout from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, announced plans on Tuesday to build the world's first grid-scale commercial nuclear fusion power plant in ...

Fusion energy promises clean power by mimicking stars. Scientists are focusing on the reactor wall's edge, where plasma meets solid material. Controlling plasma density here is key to stability.
