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 ...

In February, France's WEST nuclear fusion reactor made a big step toward getting clean, star-like energy for everyone. The machine held superheated plasma for 1,337 seconds, or just over 22 minutes.

Outdone only by nuclear fusion, the process of nuclear fission releases enormous amounts of energy. The ‘spicy rocks’ that are at the core of both natural and artificial fission reactors are generally ...

Two hundred thousand experiments at General Atomics down, and who knows how many more plasma shots to go. But scientists and researchers at the San Diego facility dedicated to harnessing the vast ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Nuclear fusion could produce almost boundless energy with zero emissions or waste, but is not yet viable on a large scale because of the cost and ...

About 60 years ago, Russian physicist Lev Artsimovich said nuclear fusion “will be ready when society needs it”. The UK has achieved a “major breakthrough for fusion energy research”, the UK Atomic ...
