Focused Energy is developing a commercial system for generating energy from the laser-driven fusion of hydrogen isotopes.

Scientists are conducting experiments to generate clean energy through fusion, the same sub-atomic reaction that powers our Sun, with the aim of constructing plants that produce more energy than they ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) In February, the US’s National Ignition Facility fired off its seventh laser shot, generating a record-breaking amount of energy for a laser-ignited fusion reaction. Can ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time inside ...

Brian Spears and colleagues built a generative machine learning model that was used to successfully predict the outcome of a recent fusion ignition experiment at the U.S. National Ignition Facility ...

Commercial laser-based fusion energy plants could be rolled out at scale by 2040, if a host of challenges faced by manufacturers of laser diodes and large-scale optics can be met in the meantime. That ...
