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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 occurs when two light nuclei merge to form a single heavier nucleus. Because the total mass of that single nucleus is less than the mass of the two original nuclei, the leftover mass is energy ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Scientists in South Korea have announced a new world record for the length of time they sustained temperatures of 100 million ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Fusion energy is hot. And not just literally. The scientific community is abuzz about a recent announcement that Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists achieved the first energy breakeven ...
