Nuclear fusion is the process of forcing together two light atomic nuclei and creating a heavier one, releasing massive amounts of energy.
Nuclear fusion is the process that powers the Sun and all other stars. During fusion, the nuclei of two atoms are brought close enough together that they fuse together, releasing huge amounts of energy. Replicating this process on Earth has the potential to deliver almost limitless electricity...
Nuclear reactor - Fission, Fusion, Power: Since the inception of nuclear power on an industrial scale in the mid-20th century, fundamental reactor designs have progressed so as to maximize efficiency and safety on the basis of lessons learned from previo
“This is a great scientific result, but we are still a way off commercial fusion. Building a fusion power plant also has many engineering and materials challenges,” she said. “However, investment in fusion is growing and we are making real progress. We need to be training up a huge nu...
Despite the promising progress, fusion energy is a long way from becoming commercially available – well beyond the years that deep, sustained cuts to planet-warming pollution are required to stave off worsening impacts of the climate crisis. ...
