For decades, nuclear fusion has been viewed as the ultimate energy source—clean, powerful, and practically limitless. Most ...

This article was originally featured on The Conversation. Fusion energy has the potential to be an effective clean energy source, as its reactions generate incredibly large amounts of energy. Fusion ...

The keys to harnessing fusion power—a clean, almost limitless supply of energy—sit in the heart of the sun. The only way we can access that heart is by listening to the sun’s heartbeat. To start up a ...

Los Alamos National Lab team is modelling the efficiency and cost of reactor designs that can generate tritium from waste ...

"Right now, the value of commercial tritium is about $15 million per pound [$33 million per kilogram], and the U.S. doesn't ...

Scientists are working on ways to produce fusion energy in a compact system that could be deployed quickly into very remote areas and disaster zones, bringing power to people who need it most. Several ...

It's been almost 90 years since scientists made the first fusion reaction in a lab. But trying to create power from fusion presents a lot of problems. Two experts explain how long it could take until ...

As the question of how to make a laser fusion reactor practical rises, scientists at the University of Rochester’s Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) have come up with a way for fusion lasers to ...

When it comes to alternative power sources, nuclear fusion is still a dream scenario. While using nuclear fusion to create commercial-scale energy has yet to be achieved, scientists say it could ...
