A retired NASA satellite is expected to fall back to Earth around 9:30 p.m. Eastern time tonight, and there’s a slim chance it could hit someone.

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) in Germany have reported a discovery that could lead to more compact fusion power plants. Within a fusion plant, a magnetic cage is used to keeps hot plasmas of more than 100m degree...

The Sun-observing RHESSI satellite ended its 16-year-mission in 2018 and has been spinning around Earth ever since.

It is hoped that this milestone will bring commercial-scale fusion energy one step close to reality.

HEFEI, April 12 (Xinhua) -- The experimental advanced superconducting tokamak (EAST), or the Chinese "artificial sun," achieved a steady-state high confinement plasma operation for 403 seconds on Wednesday, a key step toward the development of a fusion reactor.

Chinas “artificial sun,” or the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) reactor in the eastern Chinese city of Hefei created and sustained plasma for 403 seconds. This is a major step toward clean and limitless nuclear fusion energy source.
