The keys to harnessing fusion power—a clean, almost limitless supply of energy—sit in the heart of the sun. The only way we can access that heart is by listening to the sun’s heartbeat. To start up a ...

Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s National Ignition Facility have made history by successfully producing a nuclear fusion reaction resulting in a net energy gain, a breakthrough ...

This vision could make fusion research more accessible and collaborative. By breaking the problem into manageable parts—like how to pack fuel more efficiently—scientists everywhere can contribute, ...

For more than 60 years, scientists have pursued one of the toughest physics challenges ever conceived: harnessing nuclear fusion, the power source of the stars, to generate abundant clean energy here ...

Start-ups say we’re closer than ever to near-limitless, zero-carbon energy from fusion. When will we get there? DIII-D National Fusion Facility, operated by General Atomics, and Lawrence Livermore ...

Sophie Blondel receives funding from the US Department of Energy. Fusion energy has the potential to be an effective clean energy source, as its reactions generate incredibly large amounts of energy.

As the question of how to make a laser fusion reactor practical rises, scientists at the University of Rochester’s Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) have come up with a way for fusion lasers to ...
