It’s rarely appreciated just how much more complicated nuclear fusion is than nuclear fission. Whereas the latter involves a process that happens all around us without any human involvement, and where ...

In a recent study, charged atoms, also known as ions, have been found to behave strangely during nuclear fusion reactions, in ways that scientists did not expect. According to a paper published on ...

The new experiment, published in Nature, uses a compact, room-temperature fusion reactor. It doesn’t aim for large-scale energy production—yet. Instead, it focuses on a way to improve the fusion ...

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 Department of Energy announced Tuesday it has achieved a major milestone for fusion energy. The Department of Energy announced Tuesday that its scientists have produced the first ever fusion ...

There’s no silver bullet to the climate crisis, but nuclear fusion may be the closest thing to it. In the quest for a near-limitless, zero-carbon source of reliable power, scientists have generated ...
