Recent fusion breakthroughs have generated interest from investors like Sam Altman and Bill Gates—along with some unrealistic ...

similar to the process for wind and solar energy projects. Previously, state law didn’t distinguish between fission and fusion. Nuclear fission splits atoms, while nuclear fusion joins them.

The BEST reactor will be structurally similar to tokamaks ... and extremely large amounts of energy that can be harnessed. Compared to nuclear fission of atoms, fusion process produces significantly ...

Fusion has the potential to release four times more energy per kilogram of fuel than nuclear fission and nearly four million times ... In nuclear fusion reactions, plasma, a state of matter similar to ...

He and his colleagues confirmed that it’s a natural sample that had undergone fusion back when Earth was still a young planet. Man-made nuclear fission ... uranium — similar to the enriched ...

The world’s largest and most powerful superconducting electromagnet is ready to become the pulsing “heart” inside of a ...

Fusion power is the holy grail of energy technologies: it makes more energy than nuclear fission, produces less waste, doesn’t create anything that could be used in a weapon, and has zero risk ...

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 ...
