New fusion research reveals how plasma can spontaneously generate its magnetic field, in a fundamental breakthrough.

A nuclear engineer breaks down how laser-based fusion works, what megaprojects are trying to achieve, and what’s realistic vs ...

The illustration depicts an intense laser field (red wave) interacting with Deuterium and Tritium nuclei. By modifying the collision energy distribution, the laser field facilitates quantum tunneling ...

Physicists are teasing a potential leap in nuclear fusion that sounds almost absurd on its face: a path to reactions that are “billion times” more efficient by swapping today’s ultra-short, ...

Researchers from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf and Forschungszentrum Jülich have confirmed “for the first ...

Three years ago, scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California had a scientific breakthrough: As they fired lasers at a tiny pellet of fuel, they achieved fusion “ignition” for ...

The world’s only net-positive fusion experiment has been steadily ramping up the amount of power it produces, TechCrunch has learned. In recent attempts, the team at the U.S. Department of Energy’s ...

Forward-looking: While the path to practical fusion energy remains long, the recent advances at the National Ignition Facility have emboldened researchers. The facility's ongoing progress is a ...

Fusion startups have raised $7.1 billion to date, with the majority of it going to a handful of companies.

A memorandum of understanding has been signed by representatives from politics, business and science aimed at establishing a laser-based nuclear fusion power plant at the former Biblis nuclear power ...

China's Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak achieved a sustained temperature of 100 million degrees Celsius, marking a significant milestone in nuclear fusion research. The potential of ...

Opportunities to invest in commercial nuclear fusion are limited for now, but these companies stand to benefit from their ...
