Fusion power is a means of deriving electrical power from the heat released during nuclear fusion reactions, and it's been a long-time dream to produce a working reactor. Fusion occurs when two light ...

In late 2022, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory achieved a historic nuclear fusion breakthrough by creating a fusion reaction that produced more energy than the lasers used to create it.

Once a government-led pursuit, nuclear fusion is now a private-capital race, much of it financed by the same people building AI.

Limitless clean energy is one step closer to becoming a reality, following the latest nuclear fusion breakthrough. Scientists from the UK and Austria have developed a new AI tool that can simulate the ...

Nuclear fusion has long been the energy world’s moonshot, a reaction so powerful and so difficult to tame that many physicists once doubted it would ever be harnessed on Earth. Yet in the past few ...

In February, France's WEST nuclear fusion reactor made a big step toward getting clean, star-like energy for everyone. The machine held superheated plasma for 1,337 seconds, or just over 22 minutes.

What if the key to solving the world’s energy crisis was hidden in a process so ambitious, so technically demanding, that even experts once dismissed it as science fiction? For decades, nuclear fusion ...
