Clean energy from nuclear fusion may soon be commercial. But leaders around the world have done little to prepare.

Proxima Fusion, spun out of Germany’s Max Planck Institute (the team behind the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator), raised a record €130 million in 2025, later extended to €200 million. It’s fast emerging ...

A UK firm has announced a world-first set of “super” magnets that can be used for testing nuclear fusion power plants. Tokamak Energy said the Demo4 magnet has a magnetic field strength that is nearly ...

The U.S. government has launched the process to develop a regulatory framework to develop fusion machines as emerging nuclear ...

About 60 years ago, Russian physicist Lev Artsimovich said nuclear fusion “will be ready when society needs it”. The UK has achieved a “major breakthrough for fusion energy research”, the UK Atomic ...

Strong magnets tend to be large and power-hungry, but a new design has produced a powerful magnet that fits in the palm of your hand, making it more practical and affordable ...
