Nuclear fusion has been the talk of the town lately because of some milestone breakthroughs bringing us closer to a world with the possibility of infinite free energy. Nuclear fusion is the process by ...

Scientists in South Korea have announced a new world record for the length of time they sustained temperatures of 100 million degrees Celsius — seven times hotter than the sun’s core — during a ...

With nuclear fusion in the news, we look to the sun. An old hand at the process, it squeezed its first hydrogen atoms together 4.6 billion years ago. On August 31, 2012 a long filament of solar ...

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 ...

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 ...

Nuclear fusion has the potential to completely change how we generate energy. And now, it looks like China's "artificial sun" has managed to break yet another record, pushing the country one step ...

China’s latest fusion experiment did more than nudge a world record, it crossed a line many physicists quietly suspected would hold for decades. By sustaining an ultra hot, ultra dense plasma in its ...

Sustained nuclear fusion could be one step closer to reality after Korea's "artificial sun" received an exciting upgrade to withstand temperatures six times hotter than the center of the sun. The ...

South Korean scientists have set a new world record using the Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) device, an “artificial Sun” nuclear fusion reactor, in what they say is a major ...

Nuclear fusion has the potential to transform energy production on earth Nuclear fusion processes similar to the sun’s have the potential to transform energy production on earth. At least that’s the ...

The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), commonly known as China's "artificial sun," has achieved a remarkable scientific milestone by maintaining steady-state high-confinement plasma ...

First Light Fusion, a U.K.-based firm, is developing the Big Friendly Gun (BFG) prototype in an effort to produce nuclear fusion without the need for lasers and strong magnets. According to a Newsweek ...
