I study nuclear physics and fusion. I firmly believe that nuclear energy and, in particular, nuclear fusion are essential for a sustainable future while maintaining our current lifestyle. If we want ...

As critics have argued, the modern environmental movement is primarily anti-human, so they will find reasons to oppose fusion, regardless of how safe and clean it may be, for the same reasons they ...

The UK hosts the greatest concentration of skills in nuclear fusion anywhere on the planet. At least, that is the view of the ...

UK-based consortium achieves mass-production of fusion-grade steel using an electric arc furnace and approaches that can deliver considerable cost savings.

I described how some of the heavier elements will fission, releasing energy as they get smaller.  Modern physics also shows the lighter 26 elements release energy as they get larger ...

Unlike fission, nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two light atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus. This process fuses isotopes of hydrogen. It produces neither long-lived radioactive ...

The competitive advantage for U.S.-based manufacturers, who consume roughly one-third of the country's energy resources, ...

While fission involves splitting heavy atoms such as uranium ... natural repulsion between the positively charged atomic nuclei and to produce sufficient fusion reactions long enough to generate large ...

is the same reaction that powers stars like our Sun. Unlike nuclear fission – which splits atoms and creates dangerous radioactive waste – fusion uses hydrogen isotopes (like tritium and ...

The plant is set to be located in Chesterfield County, Virginia, and will infuse "400 megawatts of steady fusion power into ...

resulting in the release of a massive amount of energy—it’s estimated to produce four times as much energy as nuclear fission reactions. The reaction that nuclear fusion generates is the same ...
