Fusion is the Opposite of Fission Nuclear fusion and fission might sound similar, but they are fundamentally opposite ...

The technology could help produce more resistant materials and allow scientists more control over fusion reactions.

The clean energy source we’ve been pursuing for decades is advancing with 200,000 “plasma shots” at General Atomics in San ...

Fusion differs from fission (the technique currently used in nuclear power plants), because the former fuses two atomic nuclei instead of splitting one (fission). Unlike fission, fusion carries ...

Nuclear fusion offers the tantalizing prospect of abundant, clean energy without the long-lived radioactive waste problem of nuclear fission, the world’s current nuclear energy technology.

Unlike nuclear fission – where atoms are split to release energy – fusion forces atoms together to create a new element, releasing incredible force in the process. The reaction is the same ...

Nuclear fusion, the process that powers the sun, has long been considered the "holy grail" of energy production. Unlike nuclear fission, fusion involves the merging of atomic nuclei to produce ...

If mastered, fusion promises to provide effectively infinite energy without the radioactive waste generated by fission. Fusion has been an ambition since the postwar years – when China was an ...

In a pioneering approach to achieve fusion energy, the SMART device has successfully generated its first tokamak plasma. This step brings the international fusion community closer to achieving ...

“Not all shareholders full appreciated what we have bought,” said Paladin’s CEO Ian Purdy in reference to the uranium miner’s C$1.1bn all-share takeover of Fission Uranium Corp. The transaction, first ...

This accomplishment, reached on Monday, sets a new world record and marks a significant breakthrough in the pursuit of fusion power generation. The duration of 1,066 seconds is a critical ...
