Nuclear fusion, the process that powers every star in the observable universe, has moved from theoretical physics into the realm of real laboratory results. On December 5, 2022, scientists achieved ...

"One day could provide vast amounts of the type of power we need." Officials unveil ambitious project that could transform power grid: 'First-of-its-kind' first appeared on The Cool Down.

Experiments at San Diego's DIII-D National Fusion Facility have demonstrated that a new plasma configuration could help increase the stability of tokamak fusion reactors and inform future designs.

Fusion power is a means of deriving electrical power from the heat released during nuclear fusion reactions, and it's been a long-time dream to produce a working reactor. Fusion occurs when two light ...

A startup in the fusion power industry has raised $87 million to fund groundbreaking energy projects. The company has its eye ...

Researchers at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility have identified a new method to tame ...

The promise of nuclear fusion feels simple. Just as stars fuse hydrogen into heavier elements to produce energy, a fusion reactor generates massive amounts of energy by combining lightweight particles ...

Nuclear fusion, which operates on the same principle that powers the sun, is expected to become a sustainable energy source for the future. To achieve fusion power generation, it is essential to ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia have shown that a small bench-top reactor can enhance nuclear fusion rates by electrochemically loading a metal with deuterium fuel. Unlike massive ...

There’s only one fusion device on earth that has been able to meet a key scientific threshold, but Maritime Fusion CEO Justin Cohen is already preparing to put a fusion reactor on a boat. Stay with me ...

The industry is getting billions, but it’s way too early to count on fusion to meet growing electricity demand. This week, Commonwealth Fusion Systems announced it has another customer for its first ...

Inside a vast, hangar-like building in Devens, a trio of employees are working to test and assemble the pieces of what is likely one of the most advanced machines being built on Earth. One part of a ...
