A fusion experiment ran so hot that the wall materials facing the plasma retained defects. Christophe Roux/CEA IRFM, CC BY Fusion energy has the potential to be an effective clean energy source, as ...

It's been almost 90 years since scientists made the first fusion reaction in a lab. But trying to create power from fusion presents a lot of problems. Two experts explain how long it could take until ...

If we are to continue advancing as a species and consuming more and more power per person, then there are only two possible endpoints for human power production, and they're both fusion. Either we ...

Scientists are working on ways to produce fusion energy in a compact system that could be deployed quickly into very remote areas and disaster zones, bringing power to people who need it most. Several ...

Fusion energy, a technology that promises to harness the power of the stars to create abundant, clean electricity on earth, is sometimes said to be "the energy of the future.” Then comes the cruel ...

For years fusion power has been a distant goal Now a small company is taking a new approach built around speed precision and ...

As the question of how to make a laser fusion reactor practical rises, scientists at the University of Rochester’s Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) have come up with a way for fusion lasers to ...

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 ...
