For decades, the dream of a virtually limitless, clean energy source has hovered just out of reach, more science fiction than reality. Now, a new “volume burn” breakthrough in nuclear fusion research ...

Canadian startup General Fusion has been working on its unique approach to producing clean energy through nuclear fusion for two decades, and it's now got something major to show for it. The company ...

Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time inside the sun. But to recreate the process on Earth, we must control ...

Fusion energy, a technology that promises to harness the power of the stars to create abundant, clean electricity on earth, is sometimes said to be "the energy of the future.” Then comes the cruel ...

Fusion power has long been sold as the technology that could light our cities with the same process that powers the stars. Now a new line of research suggests those same reactors might also be ...
