When the plasma inside a fusion system starts to misbehave, it needs to be quickly cooled to prevent damage to the device.

Uncommon Courses is an occasional series from The Conversation U.S. highlighting unconventional approaches to teaching.Authors Aditi Verma ...

Fusion has long been the propulsion end-goal for interplanetary travel, and a U.K.-based company thinks on its way to achieving that dream.

Researchers have found an environmentally safer way to extract the lithium 6 needed to create fuel for nuclear fusion ...

Nuclear fusion reactors, if and when they become practical, will need a steady supply of fuel. The source of that fuel is the ...

Enriched Lithium is a critical ingredient in fusion reactors. Making it is a toxic nightmare, but scientists may have found a ...

Described as an exoskeleton, or a cage, the support structure surrounds the central solenoid, which is a 60-foot-tall ...

Lithium-6 is essential for producing nuclear fusion fuel, but isolating it from the much more common isotope, lithium-7, usually requires liquid mercury, which is extremely toxic. Now, researchers ...

Scientists sustained nuclear fusion plasma for 22 minutes, marking significant progress in sustainable clean energy research.

China entered the fusion race in the early 2000s, about 50 years after the U.S., when it joined more than 30 nations to collaborate on the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor fusion ...
