Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A view of the Wendelstein 7-X fusion reactor, as seen on September 18, 2015 at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in ...

The most common design for fusion reactors uses a toroidal, or donut-like, shape. The best result using deuterium–tritium fusion in the donut-like "tokamak" design was achieved at the European JET ...

General Fusion announced on Tuesday that it had successfully created plasma, a superheated fourth state of matter required for fusion, inside a prototype reactor. The milestone marks the beginning of ...

It’s rarely appreciated just how much more complicated nuclear fusion is than nuclear fission. Whereas the latter involves a process that happens all around us without any human involvement, and where ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia have shown that a small bench-top reactor can enhance nuclear fusion rates by electrochemically loading a metal with deuterium fuel. Unlike massive ...

Experiments show fusion plasma can stay stable at higher densities by controlling reactor walls, challenging long-standing limits.

There’s only one fusion device on earth that has been able to meet a key scientific threshold, but Maritime Fusion CEO Justin Cohen is already preparing to put a fusion reactor on a boat. Stay with me ...

In this video, I explore the challenges of nuclear fusion while visiting the JET tokamak fusion reactor at the Culham Science ...

Nuclear fusion, which operates on the same principle that powers the sun, is expected to become a sustainable energy source for the future. To achieve fusion power generation, it is essential to ...

With Western roots in Ancient Egypt and Greece, the now-defunct scientific field of alchemy regularly consumed the thoughts of some of history’s greatest scientists. Luminaries such as Roger Bacon, ...

ANAHEIM, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--National Technical Systems, Inc. (“NTS”), the leading independent provider of qualification testing, inspection, and certification solutions in North America, is ...

Fusion is always 10 years away, it seems. To expedite development, some scientists have turned to the prospect of cold fusion—a hypothetical technology that seeks to achieve fusion at room temperature ...
