For decades, nuclear fusion has been viewed as the ultimate energy source—clean, powerful, and practically limitless. Most approaches to fusion involve enormous machines designed to squeeze plasma ...
Garching, Cadarache, Lausanne, Culham, Greifswald [07.04.2025] — In a virtually unprecedented alignment of efforts, Europe’s major fusion research experiments have simultaneously entered a ...
The world’s only net-positive fusion experiment has been steadily ramping up the amount of power it produces, TechCrunch has learned. In recent attempts, the team at the U.S. Department of Energy’s ...
A Los Alamos collaboration has replicated an important but largely forgotten physics experiment: the first deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion observation. As described in the article published in Physical ...
The U.S. and China lead global efforts to make nuclear fusion commercially viable, with billion-dollar projects aiming for net-positive energy. Los Alamos scientists successfully recreated a 1938 ...
The US National Ignition Facility is the only laboratory where a nuclear-fusion reaction has generated more energy than it consumed. Here’s how it achieved this historic milestone and sparked fresh ...
Forward-looking: While the path to practical fusion energy remains long, the recent advances at the National Ignition Facility have emboldened researchers. The facility's ongoing progress is a ...
Standing on Past Discoveries Fusion science isn’t new. The first successful deuterium-deuterium (D-D) fusion experiment dates back to 1934. Back then, scientists bombarded metal targets coated in ...
