We got neutrons, yeah!” The shout came after years of after-school effort inside a Dallas home, where a seventh grader had ...

The stakes of the “race to fusion” are dramatic. Commercial fusion has the potential to deliver nearly unlimited energy by ...

Driven by the need for new energy, Germany has committed €1.7 billion in funding and partnered with companies like Proxima ...

The carbon fusion reaction, in which two 12C nuclei combine under extreme stellar conditions, is of paramount importance in astrophysics. This process not only dictates the evolution of massive stars ...

The U.S. government has launched the process to develop a regulatory framework to develop fusion machines as emerging nuclear ...

Heavy-ion fusion reactions represent a cornerstone of nuclear physics research, where the interplay of repulsive Coulomb forces and attractive nuclear interactions governs the formation of a compound ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time inside ...

FLARE is designed primarily to generate commercial electricity, and early analysis indicates favourable economics based on power generation alone. Surplus tritium could help ease one of the industry’s ...

A persistent asymmetry in fusion exhaust has challenged researchers for years. New simulations show that plasma core rotation, working together with cross-field drifts, determines where particles land ...

In late 2022, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory achieved a historic nuclear fusion breakthrough by creating a fusion reaction that produced more energy than the lasers used to create it.

German start-up Proxima Fusion has secured €400mn in backing from its home state of Bavaria to help build a €2bn test ...

Oxford’s First Light Fusion says it has validated the tritium breeding capability of its FLARE power plant concept ...
