A U.S. government-funded laboratory generated net energy during a recent nuclear fusion experiment, a first in a controlled fusion environment and a major achievement on the path to abundant, carbon ...

General Fusion’s planned IPO marks a historic shift in nuclear fusion from government-led megaprojects to privately financed, commercially focused energy development.

The world's largest fusion experiment is about to go dark for three years, just as pressure mounts for clean energy breakthroughs. The shutdown at the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor ...

This experiment is the first confirmation of an abstract framework. Chinese scientists make groundbreaking discovery in ...

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

For decades, nuclear fusion has been shorthand for a distant dream, a power source that could, in theory, deliver virtually limitless clean energy but never quite escape the lab. Over the past few ...

The U.S. Department of Energy on Tuesday announced that a national lab in California made a "major scientific breakthrough"—namely, that it produced a nuclear fusion reaction that resulted in a net ...

The last open seam on the steel outer cover of the Wendelstein 7-X fusion device was closed last week. The core of the research device is thus ready as basic skeleton and can go into operation at the ...
