All of these new developments don’t mean that the sun is ready to give up its fusion monopoly, as many significant ...

A materials expert told Friends of ORNL that advanced nuclear reactors need 21st-century materials to withstand extreme conditions and ensure success.

Fusion power has long been sold as the technology that could light our cities with the same process that powers the stars. Now a new line of research suggests those same reactors might also be ...

Fusion power has long been promised as a clean, abundant energy source, but scientists have struggled to harness it effectively. A new approach, however, may finally bring fusion reactors closer to ...

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 ...

Reactors designed to produce energy from the fusion of atoms could have an unexpected scientific side benefit. An international team of researchers has shown that low-mass dark-sector particles, such ...

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 ...

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 ...

A critical shortage of fuel for nuclear fusion reactors may have a rather counterintuitive solution. A physicist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) says that fusion reactor fuel could be ...

Fusion power is a means of deriving electrical power from the heat released during nuclear fusion reactions, and it's been a long-time dream to produce a working reactor. Fusion occurs when two light ...

The interiors of fusion reactors can get seriously chaotic. But for obvious reasons—like extreme temperatures and pressures—researchers aren’t typically able to peek directly inside a reactor. Some ...
