Muon-catalyzed fusion is one of those strange concepts that’s been promising enough to keep ...

Nuclear fusion usually brings to mind sprawling facilities, blistering temperatures, and machines built on a scale that can swallow budgets whole. This device does something stranger. It sits on a lab ...

Scientists have long pursued nuclear fusion as a near-limitless energy source. Fusion reactions, the same process powering ...

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) is celebrating the successful conclusion of a research marathon on Japan’s Large Helical Device (LHD). Since it began ...

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 ...

It turns out that containing the same process that powers the sun can be turbulent work. Even microscale eddies in fusion plasma experiments can cause performance degradation, according to a release ...

An innovative method for trapping lithium ions has led to a promising technology for extracting precious lithium isotopes—a crucial ingredient for fueling nuclear fusion experiments. Reading time 4 ...

While AI chatbots grab most of the attention, deep learning is also quietly revolutionizing science and engineering. A new AI model that can help predict the outcome of fusion power experiments could ...

Russell has a PhD in the history of medicine, violence, and colonialism. His research has explored topics including ethics, science governance, and medical involvement in violent contexts. Russell has ...

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 ...
