A critical shortage of fuel for nuclear fusion reactors may have a rather counterintuitive solution. A physicist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) says that fusion reactor fuel could be ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia have shown that a small bench-top reactor can enhance nuclear fusion rates by electrochemically loading a metal with deuterium fuel. Unlike massive ...

About 60 years ago, Russian physicist Lev Artsimovich said nuclear fusion “will be ready when society needs it”. The UK has achieved a “major breakthrough for fusion energy research”, the UK Atomic ...

Using a small bench-top reactor, researchers at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have demonstrated that electrochemically loading a solid metal target with deuterium fuel can boost nuclear ...

The footage offers an unprecedentedly colorful look at the extreme physics at play—revealing valuable information for researchers studying fusion. Reading time 2 minutes Nuclear fusion may always be ...

In an audacious stride for the energy sector, a fusion startup has announced the design of what they claim to be the world’s first practical nuclear fusion reactor. We delve into the details of this ...

A nuclear fusion reactor in Germany has reached world record numbers for runtime. The tokamak dominates fusion research in 2025, but stellarators are making a comeback. A stellarator is still a donut ...

Fusion is always 10 years away, it seems. To expedite development, some scientists have turned to the prospect of cold fusion—a hypothetical technology that seeks to achieve fusion at room temperature ...
