The University of California has awarded $8 million in multicampus research grants, in partnership with UC-managed national laboratories, to accelerate progress toward a future powered by abundant, ...

The fusion energy landscape is evolving rapidly. Once confined to experimental research, fusion is now emerging as a strategic national priority for research and development. The IAEA World Fusion ...

About 60 years ago, Russian physicist Lev Artsimovich said nuclear fusion “will be ready when society needs it”. The UK has achieved a “major breakthrough for fusion energy research”, the UK Atomic ...

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 ...

Months of wondering have been put to rest — Albuquerque will officially be home to Pacific Fusion’s first research and manufacturing campus. A major win for New Mexico, the California-based nuclear ...

The industry is getting billions, but it’s way too early to count on fusion to meet growing electricity demand. This week, Commonwealth Fusion Systems announced it has another customer for its first ...

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 ...

Cold fusion, one of the most notorious blunders in science, is making a return – of sorts. Scientists have resurrected an experiment that was once claimed to show room-temperature nuclear fusion, ...

A startup energy company, called Marathon Fusion, may soon be living out the dream of alchemists from the Middle Ages. In a recently released paper posted to the arXiv preprint server, the company ...

A twisting ribbon of hydrogen gas, many times hotter than the surface of the sun, has given scientists a tentative glimpse of the future of controlled nuclear fusion—a so-far theoretical source of ...
