Proponents of nuclear fusion have long promised to create nearly limitless power here on earth by harnessing the same reaction that powers the sun. Today, fusion’s biggest hurdle is ensuring that any ...

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 ...

Over the last several years, fusion power has gone from the butt of jokes — always a decade away! — to an increasingly tangible and tantalizing technology that has drawn investors off the sidelines.

German start-up Proxima Fusion on Wednesday announced it had raised 130 million euros ($148 million) in a record funding round. "The single thing maybe that is worth highlighting is the speed at which ...

Google signed the first direct corporate power purchase agreement for nuclear fusion energy with Commonwealth Fusion Systems. The global race to achieve commercial nuclear fusion is intensifying, with ...

Claims of “net energy gain” in fusion experiments often exclude the massive energy consumed by the full system, leading to misleading headlines. Even under optimistic timelines, commercial fusion ...

In 2024, fusion technology will finally make the transition from basic research to commercial application. The reason for that will be the construction and completion of the first commercial fusion ...

Nuclear fusion, the process that powers the Sun, has the potential to generate clean and abundant energy. However, it requires two atomic nuclei to collide head-on at high energies, and current fusion ...

Sophie Blondel receives funding from the US Department of Energy. Fusion energy has the potential to be an effective clean energy source, as its reactions generate incredibly large amounts of energy.
