Increasing the chance of fusion means raising the density of nuclei in the apparatus as well as the length of time they ...

The Thunderbird Reactor is small enough to fit on a lab bench, making it possible for universities and small labs to join the race. “We hope this work helps bring fusion science out of the giant ...

Pacific Fusion made a splash in October when it emerged from stealth with a $900 million Series A and a founding team led by a scientist who is most widely known for his work on the Human Genome ...

Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time inside the sun. But to recreate the process on Earth, we must control ...

Nuclear fusion, the technology that could one day provide clean and nearly limitless energy, has just taken a major leap forward. Scientists have finally found a solution to a puzzle that has lasted ...

TAE Technologies claims its setup produces 100 times the power of other designs at half the cost, but the road to commercial fusion is littered with hype. reading time 3 minutes A California-based ...

The industry is getting billions, but it’s way too early to count on fusion to meet growing electricity demand.

All the nuclear power plants in operation right now use nuclear fission—the process of splitting apart an atom—to produce energy. But scientists have spent decades and entire careers in a frustrating ...

The alchemist's dream is to make gold from common metals, but can this be done? The physics needed to explain how to change one element into another is well understood and has been used for decades in ...

The fusion startup has inked a deal with Italian energy company Eni. The move is likely intended to set a price for fusion ...
