Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time inside the sun. But to recreate the process on Earth, we must control ...

General Fusion announced on Tuesday that it had successfully created plasma, a superheated fourth state of matter required for fusion, inside a prototype reactor. The milestone marks the beginning of ...

Canadian startup General Fusion has been working on its unique approach to producing clean energy through nuclear fusion for two decades, and it's now got something major to show for it. The company ...

The team didn’t measure heat or energy output. Instead, they focused on detecting hard nuclear evidence of fusion—neutrons. These subatomic particles are a direct signature of fusion events, unlike ...

Japan has taken a major step toward revolutionizing energy production with the launch of the JT-60SA reactor, the world’s ...

Building a working nuclear fusion reactor has proven to be a daunting challenge even for multiple wealthy nations, as we've ...

Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory has constructed a fusion reactor from parts it 3D-printed and bought off the shelf. It fits on a kitchen table. It’s a simple-sounding machine—a glass tube coated ...

A student’s small bedroom has become a hotspot for nuclear fusion experiments. With no fancy lab or deep-pocketed sponsors, the work is entirely driven by curiosity and grit. Hudhayfa Nazoordeen, a ...

German startup Proxima Fusion — whose team includes engineers from MIT, Google, SpaceX, and McLaren — has unveiled a fusion energy reactor design it believes offers the quickest route to commercially ...

The dream of the ancient alchemists may come true as Marathon Fusion announces that its tokamak fusion reactor technology can turn common mercury into gold as a byproduct of fusion operations in ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia have shown that a small bench-top reactor can enhance nuclear fusion rates by electrochemically loading a metal with deuterium fuel. Unlike massive ...

A startup energy company, called Marathon Fusion, may soon be living out the dream of alchemists from the Middle Ages. In a recently released paper posted to the arXiv preprint server, the company ...
