The age of nuclear energy seemed to have come and gone, but the U.S. Department of Energy is determined to update and expand ...

The Healey administration last week launched a four-month effort to chart a course for further exploration of advanced nuclear and fusion energy technologies for both power generation and other ...

“Weighing over 400 tonnes, measuring about 18 meters in diameter and 5 meters in height, the Dewar base is not only the ...

Nuclear fusion could be an ideal solution to mankind's energy problem, guaranteeing a virtually limitless source of power without greenhouse gas emissions. But there are still huge technological ...

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 ...

Who will be the first to feed fusion power into the grid? From Germany to China, the United States to France, more than 50 ...

A critical shortage of fuel for nuclear fusion reactors may have a rather counterintuitive solution. A physicist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) says that fusion reactor fuel could be ...

In an experiment, prepared metal held up against corrosive coolants used in fusion reactors. These coolants are used because they can help to generate more of the fuel that reactors need. Dispersing ...

Fusion energy holds the promise of providing clean and virtually limitless power. However, for future reactors, they must operate reliably and avoid dangerous phenomena including disruptions—sudden, ...

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 ...
