A critical shortage of fuel for nuclear fusion reactors may have a rather counterintuitive solution. A physicist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) says that fusion reactor fuel could be ...

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 ...

Scientists at Durham University have completed a large-scale quality verification program for the international ITER fusion energy experiment, the world’s largest project aimed at proving the ...

Using a small bench-top reactor, researchers at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have demonstrated that electrochemically loading a solid metal target with deuterium fuel can boost nuclear ...

Artist's impression of a small modular reactor. Image: Rolls-Royce Rolls-Royce is banking on small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) to supply the surging electricity demand from artificial intelligence ...

The race is on to harness the near-infinite power of nuclear fusion—by building a star on Earth. And scientists are closer ...

A decades-old scientific controversy and a small bench-top apparatus at the University of British Columbia (UBC) could be the key to more efficient fusion reactors by increasing the chances of a ...

A nuclear fusion reactor in Germany has reached world record numbers for runtime. The tokamak dominates fusion research in 2025, but stellarators are making a comeback. A stellarator is still a donut ...

The team didn’t measure heat or energy output. Instead, they focused on detecting hard nuclear evidence of fusion—neutrons. These subatomic particles are a direct signature of fusion events, unlike ...
