Nuclear fusion reactors require massive amounts of heat and pressure to re-create conditions similar to those at the center ...

A rare-earth barium copper oxide (REBCO) is now being used by an Oxfordshire-based company for its superconducting properties ...

They've also discovered that a lithium vapor cave could be a key to heat dissipation from reactions and have unveiled a cold ...

At first we were pretty skeptical of this home made fusion reactor instructable. However, we’ve seen home made fusion reactors before, so it is technically possible, we guess. The construction ...

Even once researchers can reliably get more power out of a fusion reaction than they put in, they’ll still need to overcome ...

A company aims to bring a nuclear fusion plant online in the early 2030s, but the path to this breakthrough is anything but easy.

Last summer, when word came down that ITER, the international thermonuclear reactor, would be built in France, fusion scientists breathed a collected sigh of relief. The start of construction of ...

Since then, mentioning cold fusion is right up there with perpetual motion. Work does continue though, and NASA recently published several papers on lattice confinement fusion which is definitely ...

Such issues have led to a resurgence of interest in a third nuclear option, which combines aspects of both technologies in the form of the fusion–fission hybrid reactor. The fusion–fission ...

Cold fusion revival sparked Google curiosity but ... policy landscape conducive to advanced nuclear development. Advanced reactor designs, which promise safety, efficiency, and better waste ...

The decommissioning of a "world-leading" nuclear fusion reactor has begun after 40 years of operation. The Joint European Torus (JET) facility in Culham, Oxfordshire, ended experiments in December.
