The way scientists think about fusion changed forever in 2022, when what some called the experiment of the century ...

Don Spong said ITER, which is more than 80% complete, is expected to produce its first fusion plasma in 2034 using the ...

but releases less energy per reaction. Each time a deuterium nucleus fuses with a tritium nucleus (the two hydrogen isotopes that are the most promising for use in a fusion reactor), it produces a ...

Fusion energy is often called the “holy grail” of energy because of its incredible potential. Unlike fossil fuels, fusion ...

Five hundred years ago, the Aztec civilization in today’s Mexico believed that the sun and all its power was sustained by blood from human sacrifice. Today, we know that the sun, along with all other ...

If all goes to plan, Virginia will be the site of the world’s first grid-scale nuclear fusion power plant, able to harness ...

I described how some of the heavier elements will fission, releasing energy as they get smaller.  Modern physics also shows the lighter 26 elements release energy as they get larger ...

Their system, based on low energy nuclear reactions (LENR ... where the ionized H2O molecule supplies the hydrogen ions ...

He said because nuclear fusion requires very precise conditions to happen, it is a very easy reaction to stop. That, paired with the fact that the fuel that goes into nuclear fusion — hydrogen or ...

Deuterium is a naturally occurring isotope of hydrogen present across the known ... 17.6 megaelectron volts (MeV) of energy per fusion reaction. That works to be around 2.8 watts-per-second ...
