The quest to make fusion power a reality recently took a massive step forward. The National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory announced the results of an experiment ...

Nuclear fusion is the process that powers the sun and other stars through the combination of two hydrogen atoms into one helium atom. In that process, part of the mass of the hydrogen is converted to ...

Last week, the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory made nuclear fusion history. At 1 a.m. Pacific on December 5, scientists fired the world’s most energetic lasers to ...

As fusion energy advances towards commercialization and opportunities open up in its supply chain, the CTO of TypeOne Energy talks fusion tech, milestones, and business.

A team at the Colorado School of Mines is working to create hydrogen membranes for use in nuclear fusion power plants. The project, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects ...

Fusion power has long held the promise of delivering near-endless energy without as many unfortunate side effects as nuclear fission. But despite huge investment and some fascinating science, the old ...

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced on Dec. 13 “the achievement of fusion ignition.” The milestone is a major scientific breakthrough, decades in the making. Fusion, of course, is the ...

The U.S. is on the cusp of announcing a scientific breakthrough that has eluded researchers worldwide for decades — one that could, decades from now, turn nuclear fusion into a practical source of ...

The Borexino experiment detected particles from our star’s second-most important fusion process Neutrinos spit out by the main processes that power the sun are finally accounted for, physicists report ...

Powder bed fusion is one of several types of additive manufacturing. It can potentially benefit manufacturers because it may cost less than other additive manufacturing approaches and is a good ...
