A nuclear engineer reacts to StarTalk and explains why nuclear fusion is considered more powerful than fission in theory and ...

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 ...

Nuclear weapons tests were once a regular occurrence, but most countries haven’t tested in decades, following the adoption of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty in 1996. Now, that moratorium ...

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 ...

About 60 years ago, Russian physicist Lev Artsimovich said nuclear fusion “will be ready when society needs it”. The UK has achieved a “major breakthrough for fusion energy research”, the UK Atomic ...

The energy demands of AI and global warming are creating an impending energy crisis. That’s according to a new report by the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation (EDC). That same report ...

The race is on to harness the near-infinite power of nuclear fusion—by building a star on Earth. And scientists are closer than you might think. Nuclear fusion in the sun occurs when hydrogen is ...

Recent breakthroughs in plasma density and duration at facilities in China, France, and South Korea have removed key technical barriers to fusion development. Major international projects like ITER, ...

Nobody said building a fusion power plant would be easy. Physicists and engineers have been working for decades to crack the problem. But over the last year or so, fusion startup Zap Energy took a ...
