Satellite imagery has revealed that China is building a massive laser-driven nuclear fusion facility in Mianyang, a move that could shift global power dynamics in energy and defense. The scale and ...

Nuclear fusion has long captured the scientific imagination. The dream is to harness the same process that powers stars to ...

Elon Musk’s argument that “the Sun is already the fusion reactor” highlights why solar is winning today: it works now and keeps getting cheaper. Solar’s biggest weakness is reliability, with nights, ...

Nuclear fusion, the process that powers the Sun, has the potential to generate clean and abundant energy. However, it requires two atomic nuclei to collide head-on at high energies, and current fusion ...

Harnessing energy from nuclear fusion – the combining of nuclei, which lie within atoms – could be instrumental in the shift towards a decarbonised global energy system. As issues of climate change ...
