Weakly bound nuclei, the fragile isotopes that fall apart almost as soon as they collide, have long been a headache for ...

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 ...

Fusion power has long been seen as a pipe dream, but in recent years the technology has appeared to be edging closer to reality. The second demonstration of a fusion reaction that creates more power ...

Fusion researchers have long known that powerful magnets are the key to turning star-like reactions into a practical power ...

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 ...

Scientists have confirmed that a fusion reaction in 2022 reached a historic milestone by unleashing more energy than was put into it – and subsequent trials have produced even better results, they say ...

Since 1983, scientists have used England's Joint European Torus (JET) to recreate nuclear fusion, the merging of atoms that powers the sun and other stars, in Britain. An effective nuclear fusion ...

Fusion energy is hot. And not just literally. The scientific community is abuzz about a recent announcement that Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists achieved the first energy breakeven ...

ITER project has entered a critical phase: the reactor core is assembled, and each weld will try to recreate solar fusion on Earth.

The country has publicly announced the creation of a new tokamak to advance its fusion energy research and clean energy ...
