What if the key to solving the world’s energy crisis was hidden in a process so ambitious, so technically demanding, that even experts once dismissed it as science fiction? For decades, nuclear fusion ...
The promise of nuclear fusion feels simple. Just as stars fuse hydrogen into heavier elements to produce energy, a fusion reactor generates massive amounts of energy by combining lightweight particles ...
GREIFSWALD, GERMANY - OCTOBER 29: A worker explains a photo taken about a year and a half ago that shows construction of the interior plasma chamber of the Wendelstein 7-X experimental fusion reactor ...
Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time inside the sun. But to recreate the process on Earth, we must control ...
A startup energy company, called Marathon Fusion, may soon be living out the dream of alchemists from the Middle Ages. In a recently released paper posted to the arXiv preprint server, the company ...
Pacific Fusion made a splash in October when it emerged from stealth with a $900 million Series A and a founding team led by a scientist who is most widely known for his work on the Human Genome ...
Washington-based fusion energy company Helion just raised US$425 million in fresh funding for its bid to be the first to produce usable electricity through nuclear fusion. The firm's latest Series F ...
Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS), a spinout from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, announced plans on Tuesday to build the world's first grid-scale commercial nuclear fusion power plant in ...
Commonwealth Fusion Systems will build its first commercial-scale power plant just outside of Richmond, Virginia, the company announced Tuesday, with a goal of hooking it up to the grid in the early ...
Commonwealth Fusion Systems, an M.I.T. spinoff, aims to generate carbon-free electricity in an industrial park near Richmond in the early 2030s. By Raymond Zhong Commonwealth Fusion Systems, a ...
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 ...
Two developments in the coming year will mark a decisive shift from the public to the private sector in the decades-old quest to generate cheap and abundant power from nuclear fusion. The first will ...
