China's Next-Gen Fusion Reactor Could Achieve First Plasma in Just 2 Years China is racing against a similar reactor in the U.S. By Darren Orf Published: May 09, 2025 9:00 AM EDT ...

Inspired by Iron Man’s Arc Reactor, we created a real-life ionized plasma generator—and it’s as close to sci-fi as you can get. This isn’t just a glowing prop; it’s a functioning tech ...

This proves General Fusion's Lawson Machine 26 (LM26) prototype reactor, built over the course of 16 months, is working correctly, while employing a rather old-school design to demonstrate its ...

by L. Godart/CEA The French Atomic Energy Commission's (CSA) experimental fusion reactor WEST in Cadarache in southern France has succeeded in confining the high-temperature plasma needed for ...

A world record for nuclear fusion has been smashed after an ‘artificial sun’ reactor was able to maintain a plasma for more than 22 minutes. The WEST reactor, in southern France, is at the ...

The plasma in the WEST reactor was kept stable for 1,337 seconds, more than 22 minutes. This was achieved on February 12th, as announced by the French atomic energy authority Commissariat à l ...

SMART (Small Aspect Ratio Tokamak), the world's only fusion reactor with 'negative triangularity' constructed at the University of Sevilla in Spain, produced its first plasma. This is an important ...

What if Iron Man’s Arc Reactor were real? Join us as we build a functioning prototype, generate ionized plasma, and explore the science behind this Marvel-inspired tech. The future is here!

In the UB-led team’s two-step reactor, the role of lightning is replaced with plasma and the role of bacteria replaced by a catalyst of copper-palladium. “Our plasma reactor converts humidified air ...

Meet the teenager who built a functional fusion reactor (with plasma) for school project. Record-breaking feat believed to be the first of its kind in a school environment.

A 17 year old's science project turned heads and broke records when he built a nuclear reactor that achieved plasma. Sat, 21 Jun 2025 23:02:13 GMT (1750546933273) Story Infinite Scroll ...

Fusion reactors require temperatures far higher than those of the Sun, as they must operate at much lower pressures than those found at the cores of stars. Achieving these temperatures is relatively ...
