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 ...

Nuclear fusion has long been the energy world’s moonshot, a reaction so powerful and so difficult to tame that many physicists once doubted it would ever be harnessed on Earth. Yet in the past few ...

Nuclear fusion, the process whereby atomic nuclei coalesce to form a heavier nucleus, lies at the heart of both energy generation and the synthesis of elements in the cosmos. In recent decades, ...

Materials scientists at Stony Brook University in New York are developing increasingly resilient nuclear reactors designed to conduct fission and fusion reactions even under severe radiation and high ...

The breakthrough scientific moment for fusion power—and the potential for nearly limitless electricity from a so-called star in a jar—came at the end of 2022 when scientists at Lawrence Livermore ...

GREIFSWALD, GERMANY - OCTOBER 29: A worker explains a photo taken about a year and a half ago that shows construction of the interior plasma chamber of the Wendelstein 7-X experimental fusion reactor ...

Massachusetts-based nuclear fusion company Commonwealth Fusion Systems announced an $863 million round of funding Thursday. AI giant Nvidia joined the oversubscribed Series B2 round as a first-time ...

Heat waves, intensifying hurricane seasons and wildfires are all becoming more frequent. The driver of this devastation is climate change, the result of carbon pumped into the atmosphere as fossil ...

A Knoxville-based energy company and the United States' largest public power provider marked a new start Sept. 19 for a project that could see commercial nuclear fusion become a reality. The Tennessee ...

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 ...

Sreejith Vidhyadharan Nair receives funding from the University of North Dakota. I have previously received external research funding from agencies such as the FAA and NASA; however, these projects ...
