Physicists have spent decades chasing two grand technological dreams: harnessing fusion power and uncovering the nature of dark matter. A new theoretical paper now suggests those quests might collide ...

Reactors designed to produce energy from the fusion of atoms could have an unexpected scientific side benefit. An international team of researchers has shown that low-mass dark-sector particles, such ...

Researchers were unsure whether alpha particles would aid or hinder fusion. Simulations suggest they help, by dampening turbulence.
