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 ...

The fusion energy landscape is evolving rapidly. Once confined to experimental research, fusion is now emerging as a strategic national priority for research and development. The IAEA World Fusion ...

Months of wondering have been put to rest — Albuquerque will officially be home to Pacific Fusion’s first research and manufacturing campus. A major win for New Mexico, the California-based nuclear ...

Cold fusion, one of the most notorious blunders in science, is making a return – of sorts. Scientists have resurrected an experiment that was once claimed to show room-temperature nuclear fusion, ...

Pacific Fusion made a splash in October when it emerged from stealth with a $900 million Series A and a founding team led by a scientist who is most widely known for his work on the Human Genome ...

Ever watched a video where elements smoothly move, change size, or transform, and wondered how it's done? Welcome to the world of keyframe animations! If you're new to video editing and animation, ...

Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS), a spinout from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, announced plans on Tuesday to build the world's first grid-scale commercial nuclear fusion power plant in ...

Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS), a company with origins at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, says it will build the world’s first fusion power plant in an industrial park near Richmond, Va.

For more than 60 years, scientists have pursued one of the toughest physics challenges ever conceived: harnessing nuclear fusion, the power source of the stars, to generate abundant clean energy here ...

Two developments in the coming year will mark a decisive shift from the public to the private sector in the decades-old quest to generate cheap and abundant power from nuclear fusion. The first will ...

Start-ups say we’re closer than ever to near-limitless, zero-carbon energy from fusion. When will we get there? DIII-D National Fusion Facility, operated by General Atomics, and Lawrence Livermore ...

Nuclear fusion as a source of electricity always seems to be just around the corner. As the old joke goes, “Thirty years ago, fusion was 30 years away from becoming a viable commercial reality”—a ...
