China breaks a historic barrier in nuclear fusion, bringing the dream of nearly infinite energy closer to reality.

The U.S. Department of Energy has committed $107 million to a new round of fusion energy research collaboratives, marking one of the largest federal bets yet on a power source that, if it works at ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time inside ...

Helion announced two milestones: hitting a record temperature of 150 million degrees Celsius and being the first private ...

Helion's Polaris device hit 150 million degrees C recently, a milestone that nudges the company toward its commercial power ...

A persistent asymmetry in fusion exhaust has challenged researchers for years. New simulations show that plasma core rotation, working together with cross-field drifts, determines where particles land ...

Since 1983, scientists have used England's Joint European Torus (JET) to recreate nuclear fusion, the merging of atoms that powers the sun and other stars, in Britain. An effective nuclear fusion ...

First Light Fusion is pioneering a novel target-based approach to accelerate the delivery of practical, commercially viable fusion energy.

Fusion energy has the potential to be an effective clean energy source, as its reactions generate incredibly large amounts of energy. Fusion reactors aim to reproduce on Earth what happens in the core ...

Long hailed as an impossibility, harnessing nuclear fusion to power homes, businesses, cars and even airplanes is now widely viewed by scientists and engineers as a very real prospect that would ...

An artist’s interpretation of the interactions between the plasma and the wall inside a tokamak fusion system. Lithium is shown in green, fuel is shown in red and atoms forming the tokamak wall are ...
