Fusion power has long been sold as the technology that could light our cities with the same process that powers the stars.

For decades, fusion energy has promised humanity a revolutionary power source that is clean, safe, and virtually limitless. Unlike fossil fuels or even traditional nuclear power, fusion mimics the ...

Physicists have spent decades chasing two grand technological dreams: harnessing fusion power and uncovering the nature of ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia have shown that a small bench-top reactor can enhance nuclear fusion rates by electrochemically loading a metal with deuterium fuel. Unlike massive ...

A new theory suggests fusion reactors could help scientists search for axions, mysterious particles that may explain dark ...

A student’s small bedroom has become a hotspot for nuclear fusion experiments. With no fancy lab or deep-pocketed sponsors, the work is entirely driven by curiosity and grit. Hudhayfa Nazoordeen, a ...

General Fusion announced on Tuesday that it had successfully created plasma, a superheated fourth state of matter required for fusion, inside a prototype reactor. The milestone marks the beginning of ...

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 ...

A host of startups are racing to achieve commercial fusion power. Zap Energy just drew a line in the sand after announcing its latest device recorded the highest-ever plasma pressures for its ...

In the heart of Provence, Southern France, the world's largest fusion energy experiment, which could be a step towards unlimited energy, has quietly entered perhaps the most critical stage yet. The ...
