Zap Energy has generated pressure that's 10 times stronger than the bottom of the Mariana Trench, a new milestone in its race ...

Operating a new device named the Fusion Z-pinch Experiment 3, or FuZE-3, Zap Energy has now achieved plasmas with electron ...

Zap Energy's Fuze-3 device has generated record plasma pressures for the startup's unique approach to fusion power.

Nuclear fusion, which operates on the same principle that powers the sun, is expected to become a sustainable energy source ...

For decades, scientists have been working to develop reactors that can achieve fusion to meet the increasing need for clean and limitless energy. The success of such experiments depends on multiple ...

A high-speed camera captures a sheared-flow-stabilized Z pinch inside the FuZE-3 device. The camera is pointed straight toward the column of fusion plasma and the compression wave is visible as it ...

Magnetic confinement fusion represents a promising avenue for realising sustainable and high‐yield energy production. In these systems, plasma – a highly ionised state of matter – is contained within ...

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 promises to deliver ...

Combining ECCD and RMP provides greater flexibility and control over fusion plasma. The technique allows for precise adjustment of magnetic islands in the plasma, optimizing edge stability. This ...

Fusion energy is being developed as a solution to global energy problems. In particular, the magnetic confinement method, in which ultra-high temperature plasma is confined by a magnetic field, is the ...

Fusion plasma research centres on realising controlled thermonuclear reactions, with effective diagnostics playing an indispensable role in understanding plasma conditions and fast ion behaviour. Fast ...
