Avalanche Energy is working on an DARPA project to build a new class of materials capable of turning damaging radiation into ...

If we figure out how to harness this effectively and efficiently, this is it. This is the end. This is the solution,” an ...

For those wondering about the radioactive batteries onboard the Perseverance and Curiosity Mars rovers, which generate far ...

Physicists have spent decades chasing two grand technological dreams: harnessing fusion power and uncovering the nature of dark matter. A new theoretical paper now suggests those quests might collide ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. The sun-mimicking technology known as nuclear fusion hopes to create “limitless” energy by smashing light nuclei together using ...

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 ...

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 ...

A host of startups are racing to achieve commercial fusion power. Zap Energy just drew a line in the sand after announcing its latest device recorded the highest-ever plasma pressures for its ...

Fusion energy is often called the ultimate clean power source, since it promises to harness the same nuclear reaction that powers the stars. To do this, the goal is to heat hydrogen isotopes until ...
