Fusion power could provide a steady, zero-emissions source of electricity in the future—if companies can get plants built and ...

Nuclear fusion originates in our sun and other stars. Immense pressure and high temperatures in the core create a reaction, ultimately preventing it from collapsing under the force of gravity. "The ...

Cracks are emerging in the fusion power world, which I saw firsthand at The Economist’s Fusion Fest in London last week. It ...

It’s rarely appreciated just how much more complicated nuclear fusion is than nuclear fission. Whereas the latter involves a process that happens all around us without any human involvement, and where ...

Fusion energy is having a moment. Last week, Commonwealth Fusion Energy Systems, which is backed by Google, announced it had raised nearly $3 billion in capital and would start developing a fusion ...

Fusion energy has the potential to be an effective clean energy source, as its reactions generate incredibly large amounts of energy. Fusion reactors aim to reproduce on Earth what happens in the core ...

Tungsten's superior performance in extreme environments makes it a leading candidate for plasma-facing components (PFCs) in ...

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 ...

In a pioneering approach to achieve fusion energy, the SMART device has successfully generated its first tokamak plasma. This step brings the international fusion community closer to achieving ...

What if the key to solving the world’s energy crisis was hidden in a process so ambitious, so technically demanding, that even experts once dismissed it as science fiction? For decades, nuclear fusion ...

German start-up Proxima Fusion on Wednesday announced it had raised 130 million euros ($148 million) in a record funding round. "The single thing maybe that is worth highlighting is the speed at which ...
