At 4 a.m., while most of New Jersey slept, a Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) physicist sat at his computer ...

More famously—or infamously—in 1989, two researchers claimed they had achieved “cold fusion” by running deuterium oxide through a palladium electrode and measuring unusual heat output. The idea was ...

In an audacious stride for the energy sector, a fusion startup has announced the design of what they claim to be the world’s first practical nuclear fusion reactor. We delve into the details of this ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia have shown that a small bench-top reactor can enhance nuclear fusion rates by electrochemically loading a metal with deuterium fuel. Unlike massive ...

Harnessing energy from nuclear fusion – the combining of nuclei, which lie within atoms – could be instrumental in the shift towards a decarbonised global energy system. As issues of climate change ...

If the 2020s are going to be the decade of AI, then the 2030s could be the decade of fusion power — that is, if the sector’s startups are able to deliver. Fusion power has never had a more solid ...

To hasten the commercialization of fusion energy, the U.S. Department of Energy has released a roadmap that includes creating critical infrastructure and deploying artificial intelligence. The newly ...
