What if the key to solving the world’s energy crisis was hidden in a process so ambitious, so technically demanding, that even experts once dismissed it as science fiction? For decades, nuclear fusion ...

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 ...

WASHINGTON, Dec 9 (Reuters) - Fusion energy industry leaders met with U.S. Department of Energy officials on Monday to urge them to facilitate billions of dollars for projects seeking to generate ...

GREIFSWALD, GERMANY - OCTOBER 29: A worker explains a photo taken about a year and a half ago that shows construction of the interior plasma chamber of the Wendelstein 7-X experimental fusion reactor ...

Operating a new device named the Fusion Z-pinch Experiment 3, or FuZE-3, Zap Energy has now achieved plasmas with electron pressures as high as 830 megapascals (MPa), or 1.6 gigapascals (GPa) total, ...

The race is on to harness the near-infinite power of nuclear fusion—by building a star on Earth. And scientists are closer than you might think. Nuclear fusion in the sun occurs when hydrogen is ...

Industry Insight from Reuters Events, a part of Thomson Reuters. Boosted by Big Tech's power needs, nuclear fusion developers are working to overcome design challenges crucial to commercial deployment ...

Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time inside the sun. But to recreate the process on Earth, we must control ...

Fusion power startup Commonwealth Fusion Systems has raised $863 million from a long list of investors that includes Nvidia, Google, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, and more. “We’re continuing our trend ...

Cold fusion, one of the most notorious blunders in science, is making a return – of sorts. Scientists have resurrected an experiment that was once claimed to show room-temperature nuclear fusion, ...

Back when semiconductor devices contained only a few thousand gates, manufacturing test was almost an afterthought. The development team threw the chip “over the wall” to the test engineers, who ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: The Wendelstein 7-X stellarator in Germany has broken the record for plasma duration in a nuclear fusion reactor. Fusion reactions were sustained at ...
