Since 1983, scientists have used England's Joint European Torus (JET) to recreate nuclear fusion, the merging of atoms that powers the sun and other stars, in Britain. An effective nuclear fusion ...

To operate fusion systems safely and reliably, scientists need to monitor plasma fuel conditions and measure properties like ...

Fusion energy may be one of the most promising clean power sources of the future—but only if scientists can precisely measure the extreme, fast-moving plasmas that make it possible. A new U.S.

Imagine trying to summon the sun to your research laboratory. Yes, you, big bright star! Bring your searing heat, the drama of your core’s constant nuclear fusion and your off-the-charts energy levels ...

LIVERMORE, Calif. - Scientists announced Tuesday that they have for the first time produced more energy in a fusion reaction than was used to ignite it — a major breakthrough in the decades-long quest ...

Thousands of employees at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory on Monday celebrated an accomplishment that's being called a game changer in energy and climate change – trying to replicate how the ...

Scientists at a Department of Energy national laboratory are reporting a significant milestone in their pursuit of the distant quest to generate limitless, carbon-free electricity from fusion energy ...

LIVERMORE, Calif. (BCN) — Scientists achieved fusion ignition last week at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, which could eventually mean clean energy for homes and businesses, U.S.

A cutting-edge project to test “fusion blanket” technologies is taking shape, with the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) leading the charge to create a critical component of a fusion reactor. This work ...

Scientists at the world’s largest nuclear-fusion facility have achieved the phenomenon known as ignition—creating a nuclear reaction that generates more energy than it consumes. Results of the ...
