This could open up newer possibilities in making superheavy elements in the lab and understanding nuclear stability at higher ...

Nuclear fusion of heavy elements (absorbing energy) occurs in the extremely high-energy conditions of supernova explosions. It is this reaction that is harnessed in fusion power.

It is nuclear fusion that supplies the stars — including the sun — with their energy, allowing them to generate light. The vast majority of energy that Earth receives comes from the sun, and ...

In general, heavier elements are rare and light elements are abundant, but there are three big exceptions: lithium, beryllium, and boron. Yet these three elements are the 3rd, 4th, and 5th ...

Alphabet Inc.’s Google has agreed to purchase 200 megawatts of power from Commonwealth Fusion System’s planned first ...

Surprise results from collisions between light and heavy nuclei could help physicists to make new super-heavy elements. David Hinde and colleagues at the Australian National University in Canberra ...

Fusion is among the most environmentally friendly sources of energy. There are no CO2 or other harmful atmospheric emissions from the fusion process, which means that fusion does not contribute to ...

A visit to the site of the world’s largest nuclear fusion experiment demonstrated the real progress being made on the project, but also made clear what an enormous challenge it is. Last week found me ...
