To achieve fusion, you need to create special conditions to overcome this tendency. Here are the conditions that make fusion possible: High temperaturegives the hydrogen atoms enough energy to overcome the electrical repulsion between the protons. Fusion requires temperatures of about 100 million K...
This Collection welcomes original research articles on nuclear fusion, in particular looking at new materials and design technologies to achieve controlled nuclear energies.

Any star, no matter how massive, walks a thin tightrope. On one side is the crushing gravity of the star's own weight, which provides the pressures and temperatures necessary to achieve nuclear fusion in the core andturn hydrogen into helium. But that fusion process releases energy, which pu...
Creating a sustained fusion reaction, because up to now experimental fusion reactors have never been able to achieve this, this break-even point, the point where the energy output is as great as the input for more than a fraction of a second. How will the ITER project overcome this? First...
In order to achieve sustainable development that balances economic growth, environmental protection, and social well-being and ensures a sustainable future, strict environmental regulations and sustainable nuclear energy production may play a vital role. Empirical works are insufficient when measuring the ef...
Fusion energy has the potential to be a game-changer in the fight against climate change. It offers a clean, safe, and nearly limitless source of energy. But how does it work, and how close are we to making it a reality? This video delves into the fascinating world of fusion energy, ...
(minus 247.15 degrees Celsius), which attracted Chen’s attention. He led his graduate students to work day and night for more than a month, and his group became the first to achieve a critical temperature of 43K (minus 230.15 degrees Celsius) in an iron-based compound superconductor, ...
"There is confidence that the size and magnetic field strength of ITER will allow us to achieve its goal of producing 500 megawatts of fusion power with 50 megawatts of power input into the plasma. Since ITER is an experiment producing for the first time a strongly fusion self-heated plasma...

"Plasma breakdown is a key milestone for MAST-U and Devon's work provides valuable insight into the best route to achieve startup," said physicist Andrew Thornton, lead operator at MAST-U and coauthor of the paper. "Having Devon's expertise on site when we restart will be immensely valuab...
