A cutting-edge project to test “fusion blanket” technologies is taking shape, with the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) leading the charge to create a critical component of a fusion reactor. This work ...

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Type One Energy and the University of Tennessee in Knoxville are partnering to ...

Since 1983, scientists have used England's Joint European Torus (JET) to recreate nuclear fusion, the merging of atoms that powers the sun and other stars, in Britain. An effective nuclear fusion ...

The United States is preparing to subject fusion reactor materials to a brutal new benchmark: a focused 10 megawatt heat ...

National Ignition Facility (NIF) researchers announced their nuclear fusion reactor achieved repeated “ignition,” also known as net zero or net energy gain. That means their device has produced more ...

succeeded in ``nuclear fusion ignition'' in a laser fusion experiment that produced an output that exceeded the amount of energy input. Subsequent trials have shown that this did not happen by chance, ...

To achieve fusion, the U.S. National Ignition Facility focuses its lasers onto a gold cylinder containing a diamond capsule filled with hydrogen isotopes. NIF could need safety upgrades, if its energy ...

Scientists at the world’s largest nuclear-fusion facility have achieved the phenomenon known as ignition—creating a nuclear reaction that generates more energy than it consumes. Results of the ...

A cornerstone of the US fusion research program, the DIII-D National Fusion Facility, has accomplished a major achievement. The nuclear fusion facility has completed its 200,000th experimental cycle. ...

On a day we remember a mourn the tragic bombing of Nagasaki, we have a seemingly pro nuclear article here. Whether for military use or consumer power, anything nuclear remains a threat the safety of ...
