China’s flagship fusion experiment has pushed its superheated fuel into a regime that many physicists once dismissed as ...

General Fusion announced on Tuesday that it had successfully created plasma, a superheated fourth state of matter required for fusion, inside a prototype reactor. The milestone marks the beginning of ...

There’s only one fusion device on earth that has been able to meet a key scientific threshold, but Maritime Fusion CEO Justin Cohen is already preparing to put a fusion reactor on a boat. Stay with me ...

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 ...

The team didn’t measure heat or energy output. Instead, they focused on detecting hard nuclear evidence of fusion—neutrons. These subatomic particles are a direct signature of fusion events, unlike ...

Building a working nuclear fusion reactor has proven to be a daunting challenge even for multiple wealthy nations, as we've seen with the much-delayed ITER project. However, a private start-up called ...

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 ...

Fusion is always 10 years away, it seems. To expedite development, some scientists have turned to the prospect of cold fusion—a hypothetical technology that seeks to achieve fusion at room temperature ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
