Researchers in Germany have recently unveiled ultra-resistant materials designed to withstand the extreme conditions ...

Countries like the US that are eyeing leadership in advanced nuclear technology face an urgent need to establish lithium ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

When it comes to alternative power sources, nuclear fusion is still a dream scenario. While using nuclear fusion to create commercial-scale energy has yet to be achieved, scientists say it could ...

About 60 years ago, Russian physicist Lev Artsimovich said nuclear fusion “will be ready when society needs it”. The UK has achieved a “major breakthrough for fusion energy research”, the UK Atomic ...

The U.S. and China lead global efforts to make nuclear fusion commercially viable, with billion-dollar projects aiming for net-positive energy. Los Alamos scientists successfully recreated a 1938 ...

The Thunderbird Reactor is a custom-made, bench-top-sized particle accelerator and electrochemical reactor built by an interdisciplinary team at the University of British Columbia. Using a small bench ...

Nuclear fusion holds the potential for clean, greenhouse gas-free baseload power, but challenges in controlling plasma have hindered its commercial viability. Recent breakthroughs, particularly with ...
