It’s rarely appreciated just how much more complicated nuclear fusion is than nuclear fission. Whereas the latter involves a process that happens all around us without any human involvement, and where ...

A team at the Colorado School of Mines is working to create hydrogen membranes for use in nuclear fusion power plants. The project, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects ...

Focused Energy, a fusion power startup, has signed an agreement to secure two of the world's most powerful lasers, specifically designed for their critical role in nuclear fusion research. This ...

Last week, the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory made nuclear fusion history. At 1 a.m. Pacific on December 5, scientists fired the world’s most energetic lasers to ...

Instead, it focuses on a way to improve the fusion process itself by increasing the density of deuterium, a heavy form of hydrogen used as fuel. The team developed a method that combines plasma field ...

In the growing race to harness the sun’s power for energy on Earth, a small Tustin company hopes the progress it’s making will lead the firm to the head of the pack. “We have the goods,” says Gerald ...

On December 5, ultra-powerful lasers were fired on a pellet the size of a peppercorn containing a mix of deuterium and tritium – which are components of the fuel that powers the sun. The 192 lasers ...

An international milestone in energy research has been achieved with the successful sustaining of a fusion reaction for 100 seconds in an “artificial sun” experiment. This breakthrough represents a ...

Nuclear fusion, the mechanism that powers the sun, is now reportedly one step closer to being understood by scientists thanks to a 3D visualization produced by one of the top laboratories in the world ...

Nuclear fusion, an energy generation method driven by the combination of two hydrogen atoms, has long been sought for its potential as a near-limitless source of energy. In the pursuit of cheap and ...

Image fusion has emerged as a pivotal technology in digital image processing by integrating complementary information from multiple imaging modalities to generate a composite image with enhanced ...
