Helion Energy achieves plasma at a stunning 150 million degrees Celsius, well above the threshold to eventually generate ...

Nuclear fusion combines light hydrogen atoms to release energy, similar to the sun's processes. Fusion reactors are inherently safe as they cannot melt down, unlike fission reactors. Achieving ...

It’s rarely appreciated just how much more complicated nuclear fusion is than nuclear fission. Whereas the latter involves a process that happens all around us without any human involvement, and where ...

A team at the Colorado School of Mines is working to create hydrogen membranes for use in nuclear fusion power plants. The project, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects ...

The Department of Energy announced Tuesday it has achieved a major milestone for fusion energy. The Department of Energy announced Tuesday that its scientists have produced the first ever fusion ...

The world's first nuclear fusion power plant is planned to be built in North Nottinghamshire in the U.K., and hopes to match fossil fuel power plants in terms of energy output. According to ITV news, ...

The quest to create a fusion reactor capable of near-limitless energy has made a bounding leap forward. According to a new study, scientists working at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory were ...

There’s no silver bullet to the climate crisis, but nuclear fusion may be the closest thing to it. In the quest for a near-limitless, zero-carbon source of reliable power, scientists have generated ...

What if scientists could harness the extraordinarily powerful process that fuels the sun to generate clean energy here on Earth? In a potentially historic milestone, they are taking a step towards ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. If you start with a mass of hydrogen gas and bring it together under ...
