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

Physicists have spent decades chasing two grand technological dreams: harnessing fusion power and uncovering the nature of ...

Exotic hypothetical particles known as axions could be produced inside a nuclear reactor, something The Big Bang Theory’s ...

China’s flagship fusion experiment has crossed a line that many physicists once treated as a hard stop, pushing plasma density beyond a limit that had constrained reactors for decades. By finding a ...

Fusion reactors may not only generate clean energy but also produce axions, particles linked to dark matter, according to a ...

More than 100 scientists from around the world met in Shizuoka, Japan, last week to discuss the physics of energetic particles and instabilities in fusion plasmas – the state of matter in which nuclei ...

The insides of nuclear fusion reactors are violent and chaotic places. A new cold-spray coating can take the heat and also trap some rogue hydrogen particles at the same time, potentially making for ...

SPARC, a next-generation fusion device from MIT and Commonwealth Fusion Systems, uses powerful superconducting magnets to confine plasma and sustain fusion reactions. Recent studies confirm its design ...

The daydream of science-fiction fans and supervillains everywhere has inched one step closer to reality: Scientists have demonstrated a new technique for nuclear fusion, the process that fuels stars ...
