A critical shortage of fuel for nuclear fusion reactors may have a rather counterintuitive solution. A physicist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) says that fusion reactor fuel could be ...

A nuclear fusion reactor in Germany has reached world record numbers for runtime. The tokamak dominates fusion research in 2025, but stellarators are making a comeback. A stellarator is still a donut ...

Nuclear fusion could produce almost boundless energy with zero emissions or waste, but is not yet viable on a large scale because of the cost and difficulty generating the right conditions.

Researchers at the University of British Columbia have shown that a small bench-top reactor can enhance nuclear fusion rates by electrochemically loading a metal with deuterium fuel. Unlike massive ...

The alchemist's dream is to make gold from common metals, but can this be done? The physics needed to explain how to change one element into another is well understood and has been used for decades in ...

Using a small bench-top reactor, researchers at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have demonstrated that electrochemically loading a solid metal target with deuterium fuel can boost nuclear ...

Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and their colleagues recently developed two artificial intelligence technologies to help improve the performance of nuclear fusion generation. Despite ...

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.
