A fusion experiment ran so hot that the wall materials facing the plasma retained defects. Christophe Roux/CEA IRFM, CC BY Fusion energy has the potential to be an effective clean energy source, as ...

This article was originally featured on The Conversation. Fusion energy has the potential to be an effective clean energy source, as its reactions generate incredibly large amounts of energy. Fusion ...

For long-time followers of fusion energy, Tokamak Hall is the high-water mark after decades of ups and downs. From an observation deck on the side, the surgically-clean, hospital-white room feels both ...

Scientists are working on ways to produce fusion energy in a compact system that could be deployed quickly into very remote areas and disaster zones, bringing power to people who need it most. Several ...

For decades, the dream of a virtually limitless, clean energy source has hovered just out of reach, more science fiction than reality. Now, a new “volume burn” breakthrough in nuclear fusion research ...

Nuclear fusion research has achieved net positive energy, but it is still a net energy drain due to the high energy cost of the laser. Cost is the main obstacle to commercializing nuclear fusion, and ...

Workers wear protective equipment in a cavernous hall that contains industrial equipment. The tokamak hall at Commonwealth Fusion Systems’ fusion energy facility in Devens, Massachusetts, will house ...

Fusion energy, a technology that promises to harness the power of the stars to create abundant, clean electricity on earth, is sometimes said to be "the energy of the future.” Then comes the cruel ...
