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

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

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 ...

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 ...

Type One Energy, a University of Wisconsin-Madison nuclear fusion spinoff company, is partnering with the Tennessee Valley ...

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 ...
