At the heart of our sun, fusion is unfolding. As hydrogen atoms merge to form helium, they emit energy, producing the heat ...

Dubbed 'EAST,' China's 'artificial Sun' mimics the physics of Sun and stars to generate energy from hydrogen electrons.

A fusion experiment ran so hot that the wall materials facing the plasma retained defects. Christophe Roux/CEA IRFM, CC BY Fusion energy has the potential to be an effective clean energy source, as ...

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 ...

Fusion power has long been sold as the technology that could light our cities with the same process that powers the stars.

At 4 a.m., while most of New Jersey slept, a Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) physicist sat at his computer ...

For long-time followers of fusion energy, Tokamak Hall is the high-water mark after decades of ups and downs. From an observation deck on the side, the surgically-clean, hospital-white room feels both ...

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 ...

Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time inside the sun. But to recreate the process on Earth, we must control ...

Fusion energy, a technology that promises to harness the power of the stars to create abundant, clean electricity on earth, is sometimes said to be "the energy of the future.” Then comes the cruel ...
