Reactors designed to produce energy from the fusion of atoms could have an unexpected scientific side benefit. An international team of researchers has shown that low-mass dark-sector particles, such ...

Fusion startups are racing to prove that they can bottle the power of the stars without the sprawling magnets or precision ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time inside ...

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 ...

Avalanche has raised $29 million in fresh funding to pursue its unique approach to fusion power, which can currently fit on a ...

Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS), a spinout from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, announced plans on Tuesday to build the world's first grid-scale commercial nuclear fusion power plant in ...

In August last year the control room at General Atomics had something to celebrate. A room full of scientists stood by their computers, took cell phone photos and cheered as their nuclear reactor ...

Researchers have found a faster, more accurate way to design magnetic “bottles” that hold plasma for fusion power. Using symmetry theory instead of traditional, slow Newton-based calculations, they ...

At 4 a.m., while most of New Jersey slept, a Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) physicist sat at his computer connected to a control room 3,500 miles away in Oxford, England. Years of ...
