What if scientists could harness the extraordinarily powerful process that fuels the sun to generate clean energy here on Earth? In a potentially historic milestone, they are taking a step towards ...

Based in southern France, ITER is building one of the most advanced scientific data networks in Europe to support high-speed, ...

Officials with the ITER project in France said work has started on the assembly of giant components needed for construction of an experimental nuclear fusion reactor, a project designed to demonstrate ...

A new star will soon be born, a star unlike any other: a man-made star. The ITER project, in construction in France, should light up in fifteen years and generate energy from the nuclear fusion ...

The ITER (International Tokomak) fusion reactor currently being built in France will not achieve first operation until 2034 – almost a decade later than previously planned and some 50 years after the ...

A poloidal field coil - the largest component being produced in Russia for the multinational fusion project - has completed its journey to the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor ...

ITER, set to be the world’s largest experimental fusion reactor, has been delayed yet again. The €25bn megaproject will only switch on in 2034, and start producing energy in 2039. That’s almost a ...

Depending on whom you ask, fusion power is either already here (but no one will purchase my sekrit design!), never going to happen (so stop wasting money!), or a difficult problem that might be a ...

Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter. The world’s biggest energy research project, the $20bn ITER nuclear fusion reactor, entered a key construction ...

Nuclear fusion reactors are no joke. Sure, we haven't made one that works well enough to actually generate usable energy, but even these very early models are enormous, complex feats of sophisticated ...
