Tokamak Energy

British scaleup Tokamak Energy has secured $125mn as it looks to harness fusion — the same clean, virtually limitless energy source that powers the Sun and stars. Tokamak spun ...

The 35-nation Iter project has a groundbreaking aim to create clean and limitless energy but it is turning into the 'most delayed and cost-inflated science project in history'

The seed rounds comes as US researchers make a big breakthrough in the nuclear fusion, sector trying to make energy clean and green

Warren East, who led Arm between 1994 and 2013, said that too often tech firms in Britain move their operations overseas or list elsewhere abroad.

The US Department of Energy chose these startups to develop nuclear fusion energy in the future.

To produce commercial energy, future fusion power plants will need to achieve temperatures of 100 million degrees C. To do so requires careful control of the plasma. In a study published in the journal Nuclear Fusion, researchers refined operating conditions to achieve the necessary temperatures in a compact spherical tokamak device called ST40.

The National Ignition Facility achieves ignition in a fusion reactor.

The National Ignition Facility has achieved net energy gain in a fusion reactor for the first time.

Our society faces the grand challenge of providing sustainable, secure and affordable means of generating energy, while trying to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to net zero around 2050.To date, developments in fusion power, which potentially ticks all these boxes, have been funded almost exclusivel...

Just two weeks since raising $125mn in funding, British scaleup Tokamak Energy has secured backing from the US and UK to upgrade its ST40 fusion energy plant. The US Department of ...

The unimaginably complex task of creating, containing, and commercialising fusion energy is undoubtedly one of the greatest scientific endeavours of our time. Since the 1950s, ...

Eight nuclear fusion startups were chosen by the Department of Energy for the first round of funding to develop a pilot power plant.

The ST40, a compact high-field spherical tokamak, has achieved ion temperatures more than 5 keV—a feat not attained previously.

Supercooled rare-earth barium copper oxide could be the magic ingredient that lets humanity finally make a successful fusion engine.

British startup Tokamak Energy is testing a new type of laser that it says is "crucial" to stabilising fusion reactions — the same atom-fusing process that powers the Sun and ...

Researchers are poised to announce a key breakthrough in nuclear fusion, an elusive technology that advocates have long said holds the promise of cheap, abundant carbon-free power. Fusion has the potential to transform the global energy landscape, but there's still a huge gap between this milestone and developing an actual power plant.

A German startup has secured new funding for a peculiar twisted-looking reactor that could prove a quicker path to clean, virtually limitless fusion energy. Proxima Fusion has ...

Tokamak Energy has achieved a plasma temperature of 100m degrees Celcius, the threshold for commercial fusion energy.
