Nuclear fusion promises safe, carbon-free energy in endless quantities but technological challenges reaching exceptional temperatures have hindered the commercialization of this technology. An ...

A team at the Colorado School of Mines is working to create hydrogen membranes for use in nuclear fusion power plants. The project, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects ...

Nuclear fusion, an energy generation method driven by the combination of two hydrogen atoms, has long been sought for its potential as a near-limitless source of energy. In the pursuit of cheap and ...

The quest to make fusion power a reality recently took a massive step forward. The National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory announced the results of an experiment ...

'I loved the project, but I also kinda hated it,' the schoolboy confessed.

Experiments at a U.S. government lab may have provided "proof that the physics work." But future fusion reactors might turn to a different technology for replicating the energy that powers the sun.
