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 ...

Over the past five years, private-sector funding for fusion energy has exploded. The total invested is approaching $10 billion, from a combination of venture capital, deep-tech investors, energy ...

The US Department of Energy has released its Fusion Science and Technology Roadmap, a comprehensive national strategy to accelerate the development and commercialisation of fusion energy by the ...

To operate fusion systems safely and reliably, scientists need to monitor plasma fuel conditions and measure properties like temperature and density that can affect fusion reactions. Making these ...

Four experiments on the Z machine at 22 million amps provide data on simplified ‘targets’ for pulsed-power inertial fusion concepts Pacific Fusion today reported results from a series of experiments ...

Cold fusion became a taboo topic in mainstream science. Still, interest never completely faded. In 2015, a group of researchers supported by Google formed a peer group to re-investigate cold fusion ...

For decades, nuclear fusion has been viewed as the ultimate energy source—clean, powerful, and practically limitless. Most approaches to fusion involve enormous machines designed to squeeze plasma ...
