National Institute for Fusion Science

The National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS) is a research organization in Japan focused on developing nuclear fusion as a sustainable and virtually limitless energy source. Fusion is the process that powers the sun, where atomic nuclei combine to release energy. NIFS conducts advanced experiments and studies to understand and control fusion reactions, aiming to create cleaner energy with minimal environmental impact. The institute collaborates globally, contributing to the international effort to make fusion power a practical alternative to fossil fuels and help address climate change.
