Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California recently achieved the first steps toward viable nuclear fusion using clean and potentially inexpensive ingredients...

On Tuesday Morning, the Department of Energy announced that America has successfully generated energy through nuclear fusion. The feat was achieved by the Livermore National Laboratory. For the first time in human history,...

When one thinks of nuclear power, thoughts often include nuclear fission weapons (AKA atomic bombs) and their dangerous consequences. However, new research in sustainable energy production indicates that another type of nuclear...

Fusion power plants will eventually replace most conventional power plants and related large-scale energy infrastructure that are still so dominant today...

You've probably heard about the promise of nuclear fusion before... many times. But when MIT is involved, it's best to listen up. The university has teamed up with Commonwealth Fusion Systems, and they believe that clean,...

Fusion powers the sun, and if we could harness it here on Earth, we could obtain unlimited clean energy. Scientists have been working on that goal for years, and now researchers from Los Alamos National Laboratory, Massachusetts...

Physicists at Tel Aviv University and University of Chicago have discovered that quark fusion, involving the tiny particles known as quarks of which protons and neutrons are made, is an even more potentially energy-packed...

Nuclear fusion is the holy grail of sustainable energy -- a potentially unlimited source of pollution-free energy that can power the world. No greenhouse gas emissions. Only helium and a neutron are produced. Now Google has...

Scientists have long sought to replicate with fusion reactors the sun's ability to produce energy through nuclear fusion. But it's taking too long for Tokamak Energy, a UK-based company that wants to speed up the progress...

Scientists in Germany fired up a doughnut-shaped reactor to heat hydrogen to the point of becoming plasma, which lasted for just a split second. The successful “Wendelstein 7-X” stellarator experiment brings us a huge...

Scientists are rejoicing after the inaugural test run of the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) fusion reactor last week. Inside the massive, uniquely-shaped stellarator one milligram of helium gas was heated to 100 million degrees Celsius,...

Engineers at MIT spend a lot of time figuring out how to make things better, faster, and often smaller. Now, powerful new magnet technology has led the way to a groundbreaking design for a small, modular fusion ARC reactor...

Fusion energy is often associated with Hollywood fantasy - think Tony Stark's miniature Arc Reactor in "Iron Man." But could a virtually unlimited source of zero-emission power actually become a reality? University of Washington...
