The field of nuclear fusion has seen some exciting advances of late, with scientists demonstrating how fuels can be heated to the temperatures needed for the necessary reactions to take place. All are ...

For more than 60 years, scientists have sought to understand and control the process of fusion, a quest to harness the vast amounts of energy released when nuclei in fuel come together. A paper ...

Recent reports from scientists pursuing a new kind of nuclear fusion technology are encouraging, but we are still some distance away from the “holy grail of clean energy”. The technology developed by ...

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has published an extensive paper confirming the validity of its 2022 fusion experiment where multiple lasers focused on a sphere of deuterium and tritium to ...

On 8 August, 2021, 192 laser beams pumped vastly more power than the entire US electric grid into a small gold capsule and ignited, for a faction of a second, the same thermonuclear fire that powers ...

Dr. Arati Prabhakar, Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), called the nuclear fusion breakthrough an "engineering marvel." Researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National ...

A successful re-ignition of the Ariane 5 upper stage engine performed during the most recent mission has consolidated Ariane 5’s readiness for the launch of the Jules Verne Automated Transfer Vehicle.

China’s latest fusion experiment did more than nudge a world record, it crossed a line many physicists quietly suspected would hold for decades. By sustaining an ultra hot, ultra dense plasma in its ...
