A U.K. startup called Pulsar Fusion has recently unveiled a project it has been developing “in complete secrecy” for the past ...

In order to achieve a self-sustaining fusion reaction, the energy losses should ... or even regular nuclear fission plants, especially Gen IV fast neutron reactors. That said, there is a strong ...

IN a previous article 1 we directed attention to the resemblance between curves representing the division of electrically charged liquid drops and mass yield curves for nuclear fission.

Because Xinghuo is a fusion-fission plant, it will make use of both technologies in its production of energy. Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more light nuclei combine to form a ...

Science can’t be rushed, but fusion’s true believers think capturing the sun in a bottle could light humanity’s future.

If 100 megawatt hybrid plant is on schedule, it could put China decades ahead of comparable efforts in the rest of the world.

Fusion reactions are the same source that power stars -- where hydrogen atoms smash and fuse together into helium creating a massive blast of energy.

British startup Pulsar Fusion has unveiled Sunbird, a space rocket concept designed to meet spacecraft in orbit, attach to them, and carry them to their destination at breakneck speed using nuclear ...

But where the NIF uses lasers to compress the fuel pellet, Pacific Fusion plans to send a massive pulse of electricity into a ...
