Aiden MacMillan, a 12-year-old from Texas, may have done what many scientists are still striving to achieve. He claims to have generated nuclear fusion outside the famed tokamaks, the massive reactors ...

As countries around the world race to rid themselves of fossil fuels, nuclear fusion presents the ultimate opportunity in its promise of an effectively limitless supply of clean energy. While it's ...

Fusion power has always been a bit of a contradiction. The fusion part is actually kind of easy — an undergrad recently built a simple fusion device in his bedroom, for example — but getting ...

Back-to-back events focusing on different forms of nuclear energy reveal sharp differences in mood as well as language taboos ...

Nuclear fusion originates in our sun and other stars. Immense pressure and high temperatures in the core create a reaction, ultimately preventing it from collapsing under the force of gravity. "The ...

An engineer inspects a cryo pump on a large pulsed power machine that creates nuclear fusion in a research facility. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will make its first significant revisions since ...

China's EAST nuclear fusion reactor has successfully kept plasma stable at extreme densities, passing a major fusion milestone and potentially bringing humanity closer to wielding near-limitless clean ...
