Fusion advances, AI demand, and improved plasma containment bring commercial clean energy significantly closer to practical ...

The U.S. is on the cusp of announcing a scientific breakthrough that has eluded researchers worldwide for decades — one that could, decades from now, turn nuclear fusion into a practical source of ...

A team at the Colorado School of Mines is working to create hydrogen membranes for use in nuclear fusion power plants. The project, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects ...

Nuclear fusion, the process that powers our sun, happens when nuclear reactions between light elements produce heavier ones. It's also happening -- at a smaller scale -- in a lab. Using a compact but ...

Nuclear fusion is the process that powers the sun and other stars through the combination of two hydrogen atoms into one helium atom. In that process, part of the mass of the hydrogen is converted to ...

Last week, the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory made nuclear fusion history. At 1 a.m. Pacific on December 5, scientists fired the world’s most energetic lasers to ...

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced on Dec. 13 “the achievement of fusion ignition.” The milestone is a major scientific breakthrough, decades in the making. Fusion, of course, is the ...

Nuclear fusion, the mechanism that powers the sun, is now reportedly one step closer to being understood by scientists thanks to a 3D visualization produced by one of the top laboratories in the world ...
