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 ...

The gold wouldn’t be the end game, more like a side hustle. The millions of dollars made from selling the precious metal could be used to offset the cost of nuclear fusion, a near-limitless power ...

Energy-efficient membrane technologies are essential for reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions in industrial separations.

Serendipitously and for the first time, an international research team led by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
