Unique PSFC-designed spectrometer provides crucial data about the implosion that yielded an historic fusion energy gain.

A US national lab has proved we can the fusion process can be used to produce energy, but it’s just the first step in a very long process.

Huge challenges remain before working fusion reactors are possible.

The promise of abundant, clean energy powered by nuclear fusion is one big step closer thanks to a new experiment. The results are a historic scientific milestone, but energy production remains a ways off.

Harvard scientist Adam Cohen breaks down breakthrough that might prove major turning point in clean energy efforts — but not any time soon.

A new approach sheds light on the behavior of turbulent structures that can affect the energy generated during fusion reactions, with implications for reactor design.

Inaugural award goes to MIT condensed matter theory professors of physics.

Students are part of large team that achieved fusion ignition for the first time in a laboratory.

In a residency supported by the Department of Energy, the MIT PhD candidate will explore the high-field side of the DIII-D tokamak.

By studying the dynamics of plasma turbulence, MIT researchers are helping to solve one of the mysteries of the origins of cosmological magnetic fields.
