Traditional hydrogen bombs work through nuclear fusion, a process where atomic nuclei combine under intense pressure to ...

A hydrogen bomb—thermonuclear by design—that doesn’t require uranium or plutonium; such a weapon of mass destruction could ...

Scientists in China have reportedly tested a hydrogen-based bomb with devastating capabilities. According to a study ...

Researchers have found an environmentally safer way to extract the lithium 6 needed to create fuel for nuclear fusion reactors. The new approach doesn’t require toxic mercury, as conventional methods ...

However, hydrogen fusion continues in a shell surrounding the core. It was long assumed that the small spacings in such stars offered little new information. When we measured the small spacings of ...

Nuclear fission is fizzling, despite being pitched by the federal Coalition. But some Australian investors are betting big on ...

Some of you may be old enough to remember cold fusion, that wondrous scientific discovery touted by the press back in the ...

There are a couple of different pathways for fusion to occur in stars like the sun, but in the end they both yield essentially the same result: four hydrogen nuclei (each a single proton ...
