Researchers held a high-quality plasma steady for 43 seconds using frozen hydrogen, setting new fusion record.

A research team led by Rice University physicist Frank Geurts has successfully measured the temperature of quark-gluon plasma ...

There are three states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. If a gas is subjected to very high temperatures, it becomes a plasma. In plasma, electrons are stripped from the atoms. An atom with no ...

Capital and contract commitments are building for nuclear fusion, though commercial viability has not yet been demonstrated.

A boom in new companies and billions of dollars in private investment could make fusion power a reality in the coming decade.

A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences provides scientists with a powerful new tool for ...

The race is on to harness the near-infinite power of nuclear fusion—by building a star on Earth. And scientists are closer ...

Fusion energy is moving from theory to construction. Commonwealth Fusion Systems’ 400-MW ARC reactor in Virginia—backed by ...

The startup is using waste materials and alternative fuels to make cement, slashing greenhouse gas emissions in a polluting ...

A rare phenomenon called STEVE was seen across Wyoming's dark skies around midnight Tuesday. It's a super-hot streak of ...

Abstract: The gas temperature of arc plasma is an essential parameter in studies of the motion and extinguishment of arc, the recovery of gas insulation, and electrode erosion caused by arc discharge.
