China is set to build the world’s first fusion-fission hybrid power plant, a revolutionary step in nuclear energy. The ...

The amount of energy produced from fusion is very large — four times as much as nuclear fission reactions — and fusion reactions can be the basis of future fusion power reactors. Plans call for ...

But the consequences could be huge. Fusion is a process that merges atoms together, and releases more energy than fission (which splits atoms apart). Fission is used by today's nuclear power ...

July 16, 1945, marked a turning point in history with the first nuclear test, named Trinity, in the New Mexico desert in the ...

Researchers have found an environmentally safer way to extract the lithium 6 needed to create fuel for nuclear fusion ...

Fusion has long been the propulsion end-goal for interplanetary travel, and a U.K.-based company thinks on its way to ...

Plasma turbulence is the main driver to deteriorate the performance of fusion power plants. This work presents an unprecedented comparison of plasma turbulence between experiment and simulation ...

If 100 megawatt hybrid plant is on schedule, it could put China decades ahead of comparable efforts in the rest of the world.

A cutting-edge project to test “fusion blanket” technologies is taking shape, with the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) ...

China has made a significant breakthrough in nuclear fusion technology, achieving record temperatures in its EAST experiment, ...
