It’s rarely appreciated just how much more complicated nuclear fusion is than nuclear fission. Whereas the latter involves a process that happens all around us without any human involvement, and where ...

The energy source that drives vesicle fusion with a target organelle in vivo has been unclear. It emerges that proteins that tether fusing structures together also decrease the energy needed for the ...

The quest to make fusion power a reality recently took a massive step forward. The National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory announced the results of an experiment ...

Fusion is a natural phenomenon that provides our planet with much of its energy—generated millions of miles away in the center of our sun. Here on Earth, scientists are trying to replicate the hot and ...

Nuclear fusion has long been heralded as the future of energy. Replicating the process that powers the sun on Earth promises an endless supply of renewable energy without greenhouse gases. The concept ...

Nuclear fusion, the process that powers our sun, happens when nuclear reactions between light elements produce heavier ones. It's also happening -- at a smaller scale -- in a lab. Using a compact but ...

Construction continues in 2025 on the ITER fusion device, which is designed to prove that fusion can be a large-scale, carbon-free source of energy. (Photo: ITER) Fusion offers a promising clean ...
