The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Ignition Facility increased the yield of the experiment in recent attempts.

In an unassuming industrial park 30 miles outside Boston, engineers are building a futuristic machine to replicate the energy that powers the stars. If all goes to plan, it could be the key to ...

The world’s largest and most powerful superconducting electromagnet is ready to become the pulsing “heart” inside of a ...

The dream of humanity to imitate the forces that created their habitat has been alive for at least as far back as the time ...

The Holy Grail of energy production, nuclear fusion, is making rapid advances and one experimental reactor in the United ...

The company’s ambitious new Sunbird design aims to harness nuclear fusion in space, despite the fact that commercializing ...

Plans call for first-generation fusion reactors to use a mixture of deuterium and tritium — heavy types of hydrogen. In theory, with just a few grams of these reactants, it is possible to produce a ...

Deuterium is easily extracted from seawater, while tritium is produced by irradiating lithium. Reliability: Fusion is not reliant on external factors like wind/solar. High Fuel Efficiency ...

However, the tritium lighting market is undergoing a quiet but significant transformation. While conventional market ...

Fuel for fusion is abundant, derived from deuterium, found in seawater, and tritium extracted from lithium. And unlike nuclear fission, there is no atomic waste involved. The biggest hurdle is ...

TAE Technologies claims its setup produces 100 times the power of other designs at half the cost, but the road to commercial fusion is littered with hype.
