Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: The sun-mimicking technology known as nuclear fusion hopes to create “limitless” energy by smashing light nuclei together using immense heat, but ...

The promise of nuclear fusion feels simple. Just as stars fuse hydrogen into heavier elements to produce energy, a fusion reactor generates massive amounts of energy by combining lightweight particles ...

The machines at their center, called tokamaks, have evolved from experimental curiosities into instruments capable of sustaining confined plasma – matter so hot it mimics the ...

The world's largest operating nuclear fusion reactor just got a major boost, thanks to an assist from a U.S. lab, per Interesting Engineering. The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, part of the U.S.

What if the key to solving the world’s energy crisis was hidden in a process so ambitious, so technically demanding, that even experts once dismissed it as science fiction? For decades, nuclear fusion ...

A viable nuclear fusion reactor — one that spits out more energy than it consumes — could be here as soon as 2025. That's the takeaway of seven new studies, published Sept. 29 in the Journal of Plasma ...

Nuclear power plants can provide a continuous and reliable supply of energy because they operate at full capacity nearly uninterrupted. This contrasts with variable renewable energy sources, such as ...

Investors take note: nuclear power has spent 25 years in stagnation, while renewable energy has seen unprecedented growth.
