EVERETT, Wash., Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Operating a new device named the Fusion Z-pinch Experiment 3, or FuZE-3, Zap Energy has now achieved plasmas with electron pressures as high as 830 ...

Nuclear fusion holds untold potential as a source of power, but to recreate the colliding atomic nuclei taking place inside the Sun and generate inexhaustible amounts of clean energy scientists will ...

In the nine decades since humans first produced fusion reactions, only a few fusion technologies have demonstrated the ability to make a thermal fusion plasma with electron temperatures hotter than 10 ...

A US nuclear fusion startup claims a new study confirms its technology produces stable thermal plasmas—an essential step ...

After decades of being purely aspirational, commercial nuclear fusion is becoming a matter of "when, not if," driven by an accelerating rate of technological breakthroughs. The race for fusion is ...

New research could open up another viable pathway to fusion energy, the process that powers the stars and creates their heat and light emissions. Scientists have detected neutrons created by ...

The introduction of tritium is of high technical interest because a 50/50 mix of tritium and deuterium — the two isotopes of hydrogen — emits 80 times more neutrons, and 500 times more energy, than ...
