Fusion power has long been sold as the technology that could light our cities with the same process that powers the stars. Now a new line of research suggests those same reactors might also be ...

Experiments at San Diego's DIII-D National Fusion Facility have demonstrated that a new plasma configuration could help increase the stability of tokamak fusion reactors and inform future designs.

A materials expert told Friends of ORNL that advanced nuclear reactors need 21st-century materials to withstand extreme ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Scientists in the US have introduced a novel artificial intelligence (AI) approach that can protect fusion reactors from the ...

Scientists say the path to commercial fusion power may hinge on better ways to measure the behavior of superheated plasma.

First Light Fusion has validated tritium breeding in its FLARE reactor, a step toward solving the tritium supply challenge for scalable fusion energy.

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 ...

Cold fusion, one of the most notorious blunders in science, is making a return – of sorts. Scientists have resurrected an experiment that was once claimed to show room-temperature nuclear fusion, ...
