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 ...

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

Physicists have solved a long-standing puzzle about mercury’s nuclear fission by using a five-dimensional model that ...

A novel way of making superheavy elements could soon add a new row to the periodic table, allowing scientists to explore uncharted atomic realms. ... The “Simple” Math of Superheavy Fusion.

Damien Jemison/AP. 1. There’s more than one way to do it. Scientists are trying to replicate the scientific reactions that happen inside the sun to create nuclear fusion power on Earth.
