Nuclear fusion usually brings to mind sprawling facilities, blistering temperatures, and machines built on a scale that can swallow budgets whole. This device does something stranger.

Today, many fusion reactors rely on deuterium and tritium—heavy isotopes of hydrogen—to power fusion reactions. But where did ...

A fusion reactor could pave the way for massive generation of clean energy.

US Department of Energy officials announced a history-making accomplishment in nuclear fusion Tuesday: For the first time, US scientists produced more energy from fusion than the laser energy they ...

Avalanche Energy is working on an DARPA project to build a new class of materials capable of turning damaging radiation into ...

Google signed the first direct corporate power purchase agreement for nuclear fusion energy with Commonwealth Fusion Systems. The global race to achieve commercial nuclear fusion is intensifying, with ...

Scientists have directly observed muonic molecules in resonance states for the first time, using a high-resolution X-ray ...

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 ...

It took 192 lasers and a building big enough to contain three football fields, but physicists have finally produced a pair of nuclear fusion reactions that created more energy than was in the fuel to ...

This article provides an overview of laser‐induced nuclear fusion, an emerging field that employs ultra‐intense laser pulses to facilitate and enhance nuclear fusion reactions. By leveraging the ...

Nuclear fusion, the process whereby atomic nuclei coalesce to form a heavier nucleus, lies at the heart of both energy generation and the synthesis of elements in the cosmos. In recent decades, ...
