A new theory suggests fusion reactors could help scientists search for axions, mysterious particles that may explain dark ...

Fictional particle physicists Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hofstadter worked on the problem in three episodes of the show’s ...

Could future fusion reactors also serve as laboratories in which to manufacture dark matter? That’s the provocative question ...

A new study suggests fusion reactors could generate axions—hypothetical dark matter particles—when fast neutrons collide with ...

The Thunderbird Reactor is small enough to fit on a lab bench, making it possible for universities and small labs to join the race. “We hope this work helps bring fusion science out of the giant ...

For years, one of the most intriguing mysteries in physics has been dark matter—an invisible substance thought to make up ...

Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time inside the sun. But to recreate the process on Earth, we must control ...

When MPEX begins operations in 2028, it will help researchers design, model and refine the building blocks of future fusion reactors. The knowledge gained will not only answer today’s plasma-material ...

There’s only one fusion device on earth that has been able to meet a key scientific threshold, but Maritime Fusion CEO Justin Cohen is already preparing to put a fusion reactor on a boat. Stay with me ...

Just as in-flight turbulence—irregular disruptions in the airflow—results in a bumpy plane ride, plasma turbulence transports ...

As the world races to build the first commercial nuclear fusion plant, engineers from the University of Surrey have made a breakthrough in understanding how welded components behave inside the extreme ...

Workers wear protective equipment in a cavernous hall that contains industrial equipment. The tokamak hall at Commonwealth Fusion Systems’ fusion energy facility in Devens, Massachusetts, will house ...
