The U.S. Dept. of Energy's Office of Nuclear Energy has spelled out several areas that present challenges to domestic and ...

Nuclear fusion holds the potential for clean, greenhouse gas-free baseload power, but challenges in controlling plasma have hindered its commercial viability. Recent breakthroughs, particularly with ...

Nuclear fusion may be closer to commercialization than previously thought, with private firms targeting operational reactors ...

Fusion firms are turning to SPACs for funding, using faster, less restrictive public-market routes to raise the massive ...

Back-to-back events focusing on different forms of nuclear energy reveal sharp differences in mood as well as language taboos ...

A decades-old scientific controversy and a small bench-top apparatus at the University of British Columbia (UBC) could be the key to more efficient fusion reactors by increasing the chances of a ...

Fusion decommissioning does not have the same problems as fission. Fusion machines will create far less radioactive waste, ...

Nuclear fusion, the process that powers the Sun, has the potential to generate clean and abundant energy. However, it requires two atomic nuclei to collide head-on at high energies, and current fusion ...

For most of the past 70 years, fusion energy has been shorthand for a promise that never quite arrived, a running joke about a technology that was always a few decades away. That timeline has shifted.

The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is installing a new supercomputer named Sunrise, which is specifically designed to support nuclear fusion research. Based on AMD Epyc and Instinct-powered Dell ...

In late 2022, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory achieved a historic nuclear fusion breakthrough by creating a fusion reaction that produced more energy than the lasers used to create it. This ...

MIT postdoctoral associate Arunav Kumar discusses his work on magnetohydrodynamic stability, plasma control in tokamaks, and ...
