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

Even once researchers can reliably get more power out of a fusion reaction than they put in, they’ll still need to overcome ...

Fusion occurs when two types of hydrogen atoms, deuterium and tritium, collide in extreme conditions. The two atoms literally ...

Even once researchers can reliably get more power out of a fusion reaction than they put in, they'll still need to overcome engineering challenges to scale up fusion energy.

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

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 ...

Researchers in China have used a novel approach to explain the presence of supra-thermal ions in nuclear fusion reactions.

It was a crucial technology used in achieving the world's first controlled fusion ignition. This milestone, achieved at the National Ignition Facility, demonstrated the feasibility of generating ...

As critics have argued, the modern environmental movement is primarily anti-human, so they will find reasons to oppose fusion, regardless of how safe and clean it may be, for the same reasons they ...

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 ...

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