The largest attempt at nuclear fusion to date is occurring in the south of France. Although it has run into some hiccups, it ...

“Weighing over 400 tonnes, measuring about 18 meters in diameter and 5 meters in height, the Dewar base is not only the ...

UMass Lowell will lead an exploration in MA of use of advanced nuclear and fusion energy technology. The move comes as ...

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 ...

However, each kilogram of hydrogen produces only around 0.3 watts of power because the “cross section of reaction” (how likely the hydrogen atoms are to fuse) is tiny. The Sun, however, is enormous ...

In an experiment, prepared metal held up against corrosive coolants used in fusion reactors. These coolants are used because they can help to generate more of the fuel that reactors need. Dispersing ...

Nuclear fusion could be an ideal solution to mankind's energy problem, guaranteeing a virtually limitless source of power without greenhouse gas emissions. But there are still huge technological ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The world’s largest and most powerful superconducting ...

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 ...

A critical shortage of fuel for nuclear fusion reactors may have a rather counterintuitive solution. A physicist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) says that fusion reactor fuel could be ...

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 ...
