In a remarkable leap for quantum physics, researchers in Japan have uncovered how weak magnetic fields can reverse tiny electrical currents in kagome metals—quantum materials with a woven atomic ...

The strongest magnetic fields on Earth that we can currently produce are courtesy of MagLab in Tallahassee, Florida, at their pulsed field facility.

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

However, each kilogram of hydrogen produces only around 0.3 watts of power because the “cross section of reaction” (how likely the hydrogen atoms are to fuse) is tiny. The Sun, however, is enormous ...

Microscopic parasitic worms use static electricity to pull themselves toward flying insects, turning physics into a powerful natural hunting tool.

Kyoto Fusioneering is developing two next-generation breeder-blanket structural materials. One is a family of vanadium alloys that handle temperatures of around 800 °C. The other is a composite of ...

The 2025 Nobel prize in Physics has been awarded to three scientists for the discovery of an effect that has applications in medical devices and quantum computing.

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

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