The process is much different than fission, the nuclear reaction that powers current nuclear reactors and the atomic bomb.

British startup Pulsar Fusion has unveiled Sunbird, a space rocket concept designed to meet spacecraft in orbit, attach to them, and carry them to their destination at breakneck speed using nuclear ...

In April 2023, we reported on federal efforts to streamline fusion energy regulations. At that time, the Commissioners of the ...

A U.K. startup called Pulsar Fusion has recently unveiled a project it has been developing “in complete secrecy” for the past ...

Researchers have found an environmentally safer way to extract the lithium 6 needed to create fuel for nuclear fusion reactors. The new approach doesn’t require toxic mercury, as conventional methods ...

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

Traditional hydrogen bombs work through nuclear fusion, a process where atomic nuclei combine under intense pressure to ...

It’s rarely appreciated just how much more complicated nuclear fusion is than nuclear fission. Whereas the latter involves a process that happens all around us without any human involvement ...

Nuclear energy system design is advancing quickly, allowing engineers to rethink how they approach design. Fusion energy systems and fission microreactors are two areas of rapidly evolving innovation.

U.S.-German startup Focused Energy, which aims to build power plants fueled by fusion, said on Monday it has signed an ...

The process is much different than fission, the nuclear reaction that powers current nuclear reactors and the atomic bomb. Fusion is a carbon-free process that relies on heated plasma, a gas made ...
