Energy Secretary Chris Wright discussed the plan to rapidly scale the U.S. fusion energy generation, highlighting the important role that the nation’s network of national labs will play in the effort.

Fusion energy may be one of the most promising clean power sources of the future—but only if scientists can precisely measure the extreme, fast-moving plasmas that make it possible. A new U.S.

Cold fusion became a taboo topic in mainstream science. Still, interest never completely faded. In 2015, a group of researchers supported by Google formed a peer group to re-investigate cold fusion ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia have shown that a small bench-top reactor can enhance nuclear fusion rates by electrochemically loading a metal with deuterium fuel. Unlike massive ...

Scientists have directly observed muonic molecules in resonance states for the first time, using a high-resolution X-ray ...

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pacific Fusion today reported results from a series of experiments conducted at Sandia National Laboratories’ Z Pulsed Power Facility under a Cooperative Research ...

The promise of nuclear fusion feels simple. Just as stars fuse hydrogen into heavier elements to produce energy, a fusion reactor generates massive amounts of energy by combining lightweight particles ...

An illustrative rendering of Type One Energy’s high-heat flux facility depicts the high-temperature helium loop (left) and the vacuum vessel (center). The Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National ...

The US Department of Energy has released its Fusion Science and Technology Roadmap, a comprehensive national strategy to accelerate the development and commercialisation of fusion energy by the ...

Over the past five years, private-sector funding for fusion energy has exploded. The total invested is approaching $10 billion, from a combination of venture capital, deep-tech investors, energy ...

For decades, nuclear fusion has been viewed as the ultimate energy source—clean, powerful, and practically limitless. Most approaches to fusion involve enormous machines designed to squeeze plasma ...
