In short, it's fine to applaud the NIF achievements, but they don't mean a green energy revolution is imminent. It'll still be years before fusion power progress bears fruit — likely a decade or ...

Astronomers have re-examined the biggest explosion ever seen, possibly the most massive explosion since the Big Bang, to ...

Einstein wasn’t satisfied. At a 1927 conference, he suggested a way to catch light in both modes. If you could detect the ...

A massive, fast-orbiting planet is inching closer to its star, and scientists now have direct evidence of its impending ...

This illustration depicts the offshore production of energy using a floating nuclear power plant. Core Power’s concept of a floating nuclear power plant has advantages of its own.

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a new carbon membrane that could revolutionize ...

AEI’s science, energy, and environment scholars examine the diverse intersections between the government and the scientific enterprise with a view toward understanding and improving that ...

Cold fusion, better known by its practitioners as LENR, is the science—or, perhaps, the art—of making atomic nuclei merge and, ideally, harnessing the resultant energy.

UC San Diego engineers have created a passive evaporative cooling membrane that could dramatically slash energy use in data centers. As demand for AI and cloud computing soars, traditional cooling ...

Renewable-energy storage can help humanity reduce its fossil fuel use and combat climate change. Here are some of the best and most promising methods for storing renewable energy.

The certificate requires 15 credit hours, typically completed over the course of two years. Students will take a two-course core series focusing on the fundamentals of nuclear energy science and ...
