If we figure out how to harness this effectively and efficiently, this is it. This is the end. This is the solution,” an ...

Fusion is the process by which a gas is heated up and separated into its constituent ions and electrons. It involves light elements, such as hydrogen, smashing together to form heavier elements, such ...

Fusion power has long been sold as the technology that could light our cities with the same process that powers the stars. Now a new line of research suggests those same reactors might also be ...

For many decades, nuclear fusion power has been viewed as the ultimate energy source. A fusion power plant could generate carbon-free energy at a scale needed to address climate change. And it could ...

They call themselves "fusion gypsies"—scientists who have travelled the world, moving from one nuclear reactor to the next, living the dream that some day, somewhere, they can re-create the reactions ...

Deep under the Nevada desert in the 1980s the US conducted secret nuclear weapons research. Among the experiments was an effort to see if nuclear fusion, the reaction which powers the sun, could be ...

Mixing condiments might be unpleasant on the dinner plate but in the lab it is helping experts explore a problem that is stopping nuclear fusion. Researchers from the US spun a box containing a layer ...

Harnessing the power of the Sun here on Earth promises to solve many of the woes brought on by the burning of fossil fuels. A race is now on to develop the world's first commercially viable fusion ...
