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

This isotope is found at a ratio of about one per 2,500 helium-4 ions, the latter being the common version of helium.

Theoretically, Sunbird's tremendous speeds could cut mission times to Mars in half, from seven to eight months to about four.

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.

Fusion energy stands as a beacon of hope in a world beset by rising energy demands, extreme weather and energy security ...

Replicating the nuclear fusion process requires a similar way to overcome the Coulomb barrier, but in lieu of even a small-sized star like our Sun, we need alternate means such as much higher ...

These systems now rank among the best in the world, and they’ve helped set multiple records in China’s fusion research,’ ...
