The breakthrough scientific moment for fusion power—and the potential for nearly limitless electricity from a so-called star in a jar—came at the end of 2022 when scientists at Lawrence Livermore ...

Oct. 30, 2023 — Today, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced $11.4 million for six projects in quantum information science (QIS) with relevance to fusion and plasma science. The list of ...

A twisting ribbon of hydrogen gas, many times hotter than the surface of the sun, has given scientists a tentative glimpse of the future of controlled nuclear fusion—a so-far theoretical source of ...

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 ...

China and the U.S. are in a race to create the first grid-scale nuclear fusion energy. After decades of U.S. leadership, China is catching up by spending twice as much and building projects at record ...

The Joint European Torus (JET), one of the world's largest and most powerful fusion machines, has demonstrated the ability to reliably generate fusion energy, while simultaneously setting a world ...

The final section of what scientists and engineers say will be the largest and most powerful pulsed, superconducting magnet in the world has been completed at the Poway campus of San Diego-based ...
