Nuclear fission is fizzling, despite being pitched by the federal Coalition. But some Australian investors are betting big on ...

Lawmakers introduced a package of bills to support nuclear fusion research, in hopes of creating a nuclear "Silicon Valley" ...

Months after satellites picked up a massive nuclear fusion facility in China's Sichuan province, the country's nuclear ...

Researchers have found an environmentally safer way to extract the lithium 6 needed to create fuel for nuclear fusion reactors. The new approach doesn’t require toxic mercury, as conventional methods ...

Science can’t be rushed, but fusion’s true believers think capturing the sun in a bottle could light humanity’s future.

In April 2023, we reported on federal efforts to streamline fusion energy regulations. At that time, the Commissioners of the ...

British startup Pulsar Fusion has unveiled Sunbird, a space rocket concept designed to meet spacecraft in orbit, attach to them, and carry them to their destination at breakneck speed using nuclear ...

The process is much different than fission, the nuclear reaction that powers current nuclear reactors and the atomic bomb. Fusion is a carbon-free process that relies on heated plasma, a gas made ...

The company’s ambitious new Sunbird design aims to harness nuclear fusion in space, despite the fact that commercializing ...

China is developing Xinghuo, the world's first fusion-fission reactor, set to be operational by 2030. If successful, it could revolutionise energy production, providing a cheap, high-output power ...

Because Xinghuo is a fusion-fission plant, it will make use of both technologies in its production of energy. Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more light nuclei combine to form a ...
