The interiors of fusion reactors can get seriously chaotic. But for obvious reasons—like extreme temperatures and pressures—researchers aren’t typically able to peek directly inside a reactor. Some ...

A membrane-free solid-state reactor turns captured carbon dioxideinto clean formic acid that feeds microbes, growing protein-rich yeast and suggesting how electricity and waste carbon could supply ...

Zap Energy took the wraps off its latest fusion device Tuesday at a research meeting in Long Beach, California, the latest in a string of devices the company has built in its quest to bring fusion ...

As global electric vehicle adoption accelerates, end-of-life battery packs are quickly becoming a major waste stream. Lithium is costly to mine and refine, and most current recycling methods are ...

Thousands of pieces of space junk are littering low-Earth orbit (LEO), potentially imperiling the future of human spaceflight. A new study highlights a novel idea to clean up this orbital mess using ...

Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time inside the sun. But to recreate the process on Earth, we must control ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia have shown that a small bench-top reactor can enhance nuclear fusion rates by electrochemically loading a metal with deuterium fuel. Unlike massive ...

In a spacious room with towering ceilings, a gleaming device resembling a metal barrel the size of an SUV lies on its side, ready to perform some science. Known as the Facility for Laboratory ...

The race to recreate the sun’s power on Earth just hit a major milestone. Scientists operating a powerful fusion reactor, often nicknamed China’s “artificial sun,” set a world record that’s turning ...

Commercial fusion power plants may be cheaper and easier to build thanks to a breakthrough by TAE Technologies that allows reactors to generate their own containment fields without the need for ...

Fincantieri, newcleo and Pininfarina have unveiled the look of the next-generation sustainable nuclear generator for maritime applications. The look of newcleo’s fourth-generation lead-cooled fast ...
