In fusion power generation, it is essential that the high-energy particles generated by a fusion reaction in hot plasma heat it to sustain further fusion reactions. The key to this self-heating of the ...

A key component of a system that would deliver fusion energy in the U.S. has arrived at Commonwealth Fusion Systems' (CFS) ...

The exhaust heat generated by a fusing plasma in a commercial-scale reactor may not be as damaging to the vessel's innards as once thought, according to new research about escaping plasma particles.

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 ...

Imagine a cloud that shines like a neon sign, but instead of raindrops, it contains countless microscopic dust grains ...

The sun is frequently ejecting huge masses of plasma, called coronal mass ejections (CMEs), into space. They often occur ...

Plasma ejections from young stars may offer valuable insights into the Sun’s early history. Most of the time, we hardly notice it from Earth, but the Sun is constantly hurling vast clouds of charged ...

Around the world, research is advancing to efficiently confine fusion plasma and harness its immense energy for power ...

Earth’s magnetosphere, once thought to have a simple electric polarity pattern, has revealed a surprising twist. New ...

The study of energetic particles and Alfvén eigenmodes is central to understanding plasma behaviour in both laboratory fusion devices and natural astrophysical settings. These high-energy particles, ...

The video was recorded by Varda Space Industries ( @VardaSpace ), which is a privately held American space research company.

Space weather isn’t referring to rain clouds that float through the galaxy. Instead, it’s caused by massive explosions of ...
