The way scientists think about fusion changed forever in 2022, when what some called the experiment of the century ...

A frothy breakthrough at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), using lasers with a silver metal foam that's as light as air, has created the brightest yet X-ray source ever, twice as ...

the three-year development program builds on the global momentum for inertial fusion energy sparked by the fusion ignition breakthrough at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) in December 2022. This ...

The experiment, at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, showed ignition: a fusion reaction generating more energy out than ...

Advances in inertial confinement fusion and innovative modeling have brought nuclear fusion closer to reality, offering ...

Fusion energy is often called the “holy grail” of energy because of its incredible potential. Unlike fossil fuels, fusion ...

A fusion power plant will go live in the next decade and produce 400 megawatts of electricity, Commonwealth Fusion Systems says ...

In 2022, scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California reached nuclear fusion “ignition” for the first time, meaning they successfully produced an excess of energy from ...
