Materials scientists at Stony Brook University in New York are developing increasingly resilient nuclear reactors designed to conduct fission and fusion reactions even under severe radiation and high ...

Nuclear fusion has long been the energy world’s moonshot, a reaction so powerful and so difficult to tame that many physicists once doubted it would ever be harnessed on Earth. Yet in the past few ...

The breakthrough scientific moment for fusion power—and the potential for nearly limitless electricity from a so-called star in a jar—came at the end of 2022 when scientists at Lawrence Livermore ...

The promise of nuclear fusion feels simple. Just as stars fuse hydrogen into heavier elements to produce energy, a fusion reactor generates massive amounts of energy by combining lightweight particles ...

Claims of “net energy gain” in fusion experiments often exclude the massive energy consumed by the full system, leading to misleading headlines. Even under optimistic timelines, commercial fusion ...

The U.S. and China lead global efforts to make nuclear fusion commercially viable, with billion-dollar projects aiming for net-positive energy. Los Alamos scientists successfully recreated a 1938 ...

A Knoxville-based energy company and the United States' largest public power provider marked a new start Sept. 19 for a project that could see commercial nuclear fusion become a reality. The Tennessee ...

The waste could be used for nuclear fusion, say researchers. Although nuclear fission, which powers nuclear reactors, can provide plenty of energy, it also produces potentially dangerous radioactive ...

GREIFSWALD, GERMANY - OCTOBER 29: A worker explains a photo taken about a year and a half ago that shows construction of the interior plasma chamber of the Wendelstein 7-X experimental fusion reactor ...
