Nuclear waste could be repurposed into a rare isotope necessary for nuclear fusion, which could theoretically produce near-limitless amounts of clean energy, one scientist says. The radioactive ...

On Monday, Japanese startup Helical Fusion announced that it has successfully completed a major performance test of its high-temperature superconducting (HTS) coil, a critical step toward developing ...

Fusion power's big advantages would be that it’s a virtually limitless source of electricity that doesn’t add carbon to the ...

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 ...

When it comes to alternative power sources, nuclear fusion is still a dream scenario. While using nuclear fusion to create commercial-scale energy has yet to be achieved, scientists say it could ...

Booth is a reporter at TIME. Booth is a reporter at TIME. When Sam Altman arrived at Helion Energy’s small Redmond, Wash., office in early 2014, nuclear-fusion textbooks tucked under his arm, the ...

Tapping into discarded nuclear waste could help generate a self-sufficient source of a key ingredient for nuclear fusion, a new plan proposes. Reading time 3 minutes Nuclear fusion has seen some ...

In December 2022, researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s National Ignition Facility in California conducted a controlled nuclear fusion experiment that, for the first time, ...

Net power through nuclear fusion, a long dreamed-of goal, may finally be within reach. Fusion technology is moving out of the lab and many companies, including recently-founded ones, are striving to ...

A decades-old scientific controversy and a small bench-top apparatus at the University of British Columbia (UBC) could be the key to more efficient fusion reactors by increasing the chances of a ...

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 ...
