Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory are harnessing the power of computers to ...

In a star like the Sun, four atoms of hydrogen eventually combine via fusion to make a heavier nucleus of helium. What makes fusion inside a star so useful is that the transformation of a light ...

The breakthrough, in 2022, crucial to ever creating a fusion power plant, made headlines around the world. Humans had unlocked the power of the stars. Inside the nuclear fusion breakthrough that could ...

A British startup called Pulsar Fusion has come up with a wild new concept for a nuclear fusion-powered space rocket.

Unlike nuclear fission, which releases energy by splitting atoms, fusion is achieved by smashing atomic particles together in the same way energy is made in a star. Inside our sun, an immense ...

"We are able to make miniature stars, 'cause fusion is the same reaction that powers the Sun and stars," said Tammy Ma, who leads the Fusion Energy Initiative at the National Ignition Facility ...
