A student’s small bedroom has become a hotspot for nuclear fusion experiments. With no fancy lab or deep-pocketed sponsors, the work is entirely driven by curiosity and grit. Hudhayfa Nazoordeen, a ...

Google LLC’s DeepMind research unit is partnering with the nuclear fusion startup Commonwealth Fusion Systems LLC to see if ...

Fusion is always 10 years away, it seems. To expedite development, some scientists have turned to the prospect of cold fusion—a hypothetical technology that seeks to achieve fusion at room temperature ...

For decades, nuclear fusion has been viewed as the ultimate energy source—clean, powerful, and practically limitless. Most approaches to fusion involve enormous machines designed to squeeze plasma ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia have shown that a small bench-top reactor can enhance nuclear fusion rates by electrochemically loading a metal with deuterium fuel. Unlike massive ...

General Fusion announced on Tuesday that it had successfully created plasma, a superheated fourth state of matter required for fusion, inside a prototype reactor. The milestone marks the beginning of ...

For decades, fusion energy has promised humanity a revolutionary power source that is clean, safe, and virtually limitless. Unlike fossil fuels or even traditional nuclear power, fusion mimics the ...

Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time inside the sun. But to recreate the process on Earth, we must control ...

In the universe, thermonuclear fusion is a common reaction: it is the source of energy for stars. On Earth, producing energy using this process is difficult due to problems with controlling the plasma ...
