The hydrogen bomb, unlike the atomic bomb used on Hiroshima, generates energy through fusion by fusing isotopes of hydrogen, ...

The footage offers an unprecedentedly colorful look at the extreme physics at play—revealing valuable information for ...

Physicists in the U.S. have overcome two major hurdles in fusion power generation. Their discovery increases the stability of fusion reactions and brings us one step closer to making commercial fusion ...

A team of University of Wisconsin-Madison scientists has taken a major step toward creating a clean, reliable and powerful source of energy. Four years in the making, it is part of a broader approach ...

Fusion is among the most environmentally friendly sources of energy. There are no CO 2 or other harmful atmospheric emissions from the fusion process, which means that fusion does not contribute to ...

Inertial confinement fusion is one method for generating energy through nuclear fusion, albeit one plagued by all manner of scientific challenges (although progress is being made). Researchers at ...

This article was originally featured on The Conversation. Fusion energy has the potential to be an effective clean energy source, as its reactions generate incredibly large amounts of energy. Fusion ...

1,337 seconds: that was how long WEST, a tokamak run from the CEA Cadarache site in southern France and one of the EUROfusion consortium medium size Tokamak facilities, was able to maintain a plasma ...

The Department of Energy (DOE) released a new roadmap for the US to realize the decades-long dream of harnessing fusion energy.

Building upon recent findings showing the promise of coating the inner surface of the vessel containing a fusion plasma in liquid lithium, researchers have determined the maximum density of uncharged ...

China and the U.S. are in a race to create the first grid-scale nuclear fusion energy. After decades of U.S. leadership, China is catching up by spending twice as much and building projects at record ...

However, each kilogram of hydrogen produces only around 0.3 watts of power because the “cross section of reaction” (how ...
