Private fusion companies building prototype reactors will face federal rules on tritium and neutron-activated waste but will ...

Zap Energy built its reputation on a bold promise: a compact fusion reactor that uses sheared flows of ionized gas to confine plasma, skipping the massive superconducting magnets that make rival ...

AUSTIN, Texas--Physicists at The University of Texas at Austin have designed a new system that, when fully developed, would use fusion to eliminate most of the transuranic waste produced by nuclear ...

Nobody said building a fusion power plant would be easy. Physicists and engineers have been working for decades to crack the problem. But over the last year or so, fusion startup Zap Energy took a ...

According to the Wall Street Journal, several big names are investing in nuclear fusion. Bill Gates and George Soros have both put money into Commonwealth Fusion Systems, LLC in hopes of staking a ...

Nuclear energy is obtained by the huge amount of energy that is released by atoms in the processes of fusion or fission. Fusion is when two lightweight atoms (like hydrogen) are joined to form a ...

They are extending concepts and experiments in pulse power studied at Sandia National Labs. The Sandia Z Machine used currents of about 26 million amps to reach peak X-ray emissions of 350 terawatts ...

I’m going to go out on a limb with a year-end prediction. The old joke in the physics community is still true: Fusion is always 50 years away. That detracts nothing from the news of an awesome ...
