A new Special Issue on Current Advances in Nuclear Fusion Technology<\/a><\/strong> in the journal Applied Sciences<\/em> opened for submissions in November 2025. Alejandro Soba<\/strong>, member of the Fusion group at BSC, is serving as Guest Editor and will oversee the full publication process.<\/span><\/p>\n This Special Issue highlights the latest advances in overcoming scientific and engineering challenges on the path to practical fusion energy.<\/strong> It features research on plasma behaviour, reactor modelling, and instability control, including turbulent transport, MHD stability, and multi-physics simulations that link plasma dynamics with material response. Studies explore plasma\u2013material interactions, heating and fuelling methods, and laser\u2013plasma processes for inertial confinement fusion. Contributions also address fast particle physics, burning plasma self-heating, high-performance scenario control, and resilient reactor materials. Together, these innovations advance diagnostics, power exhaust technologies, and overall reactor design, marking an important step toward achieving safe and sustainable fusion energy. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Applied Sciences<\/em> offers broad visibility in the scientific community and is indexed in major databases <\/strong>such as Scopus<\/strong>, SCIE (Web of Science)<\/strong>, Ei Compendex<\/strong>, Inspec<\/strong>, and CAPlus\/SciFinder<\/strong>. The journal\u00a0has a CiteScore of 5.5<\/strong>, ranking it in Q1 for General Engineering, Instrumentation, and Fluid Flow & Transfer Processes, and Q2 for Computer Science Applications, Materials Science (General), and Process Chemistry & Technology. Its Impact Factor is 2.5<\/strong>, placing it in Q2 in Multidisciplinary Engineering and Q3 in Applied Physics.<\/span><\/p>\n The journal\u2019s scope spans all areas of applied physics, applied chemistry, engineering, environmental and earth sciences, and applied biology. Its structure encompasses five broad subject areas\u2014Engineering, Physical Sciences, Biology & Life Sciences, Environmental & Earth Sciences, and Chemistry & Materials Sciences\u2014further divided into 32 specialized sections, ensuring comprehensive coverage of applied research fields. Published online semimonthly, Applied Sciences<\/em> is a leading international, peer-reviewed open-access journal that ensures rapid, high-quality dissemination of impactful research in the applied natural sciences.<\/strong> For more details, visit the journal\u2019s About page<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n This Special Issue offers an excellent opportunity to bring together a cohesive collection of recent advances across all areas of nuclear fusion technology.
