In an ambitious and visionary project, a groundbreaking study and design competition produced a conceptual model for a ...

If Sir Isaac Newton’s wildest dream is finally coming true, we could be on the brink of a new type of gold rush.

This then decays into a stable form of gold: gold-197. This process of particle decay is where one subatomic particle ...

Nuclear fusion may be a new concept to many, but scientists have been working on it since the 1940s. However, they have faced a tough challenge: how to produce more energy than it takes to create it.

A US startup asserts it can transform common metals into gold using well-understood fusion technology, a process typically ...

Unlike fission, the way we produce nuclear energy now, fusion merges atoms together instead of splitting them. It would create many times more energy than fission, without the use of radioactive ...

TAE Technologies, a nuclear fusion startup founded in California in 1998, is now a team of 400 people that recently raised $1.2 billion USD with hefty contributions from influential companies such ...

Scientists have reached a major milestone in the pursuit of nuclear fusion, the process that powers the stars and could one day provide a globally accessible, long-term supply of carbon-free energy.

Nuclear fusion promises unlimited clean, safe energy — even if making it involves temperatures hotter than the sun. Here’s what’s going on inside the reactor.

The U.S. Department of Energy announced a breakthrough in nuclear fusion on Tuesday that puts the world one step closer to harnessing an abundant energy source free from carbon emissions and long ...

The fusion fire wouldn't stay lit without external help. The next step for fusion research lies in Southern France, where the world's largest tokamak is currently under construction.

Nuclear fusion propulsion tech, arguably a golden goose of the space industry, could reduce the travel time to Mars by half and cut the travel time to Titan, Saturn's moon, to two years instead of ...
