China's EAST nuclear fusion reactor has successfully kept plasma stable at extreme densities, passing a major fusion ...

Fusion happens when nuclei at the centres of two atoms combine into a single nucleus, forming a heavier element and releasing a huge amount of energy. Combining hydrogen nuclei into helium powers our ...

China’s latest experiments with its so‑called “artificial sun” have pushed nuclear fusion into territory many physicists long ...

Reproducing on Earth the reactions that power the Sun to create an abundant and clean energy source has been a long-standing ...

Nuclear fusion, the process that powers the Sun, has the potential to generate clean and abundant energy. However, it requires two atomic nuclei to collide head-on at high energies, and current fusion ...
