Fusion power has long been sold as the technology that could light our cities with the same process that powers the stars. Now a new line of research suggests those same reactors might also be ...

The Thunderbird Reactor is small enough to fit on a lab bench, making it possible for universities and small labs to join the race. “We hope this work helps bring fusion science out of the giant ...

Reactors designed to produce energy from the fusion of atoms could have an unexpected scientific side benefit. An international team of researchers has shown that low-mass dark-sector particles, such ...

The science news ecosystem repeats unfounded claims about nuclear fusion. OpenStar’s reactor has an unusual design, but it’s just as unproven as all the others. Their reactor has a central magnet ...

Physicists have spent decades chasing two grand technological dreams: harnessing fusion power and uncovering the nature of dark matter. A new theoretical paper now suggests those quests might collide ...

A student’s small bedroom has become a hotspot for nuclear fusion experiments. With no fancy lab or deep-pocketed sponsors, the work is entirely driven by curiosity and grit. Hudhayfa Nazoordeen, a ...

"Many small suns." That's how Alexander Galitsky envisions the future of fusion energy—a future where clean, abundant energy is accessible to all. Fusion, the process that powers the Sun and other ...
