For decades, nuclear fusion has been hailed as the holy grail of clean energy—a virtually limitless power source that could ...

Scientists are conducting experiments to generate clean energy through fusion, the same sub-atomic reaction that powers our Sun, with the aim of constructing plants that produce more energy than they ...

What’s the difference between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion? Both are nuclear processes, in that they involve nuclear forces to change the nucleus of atoms. Chemical processes on the other hand ...

Such issues have led to a resurgence of interest in a third nuclear option, which combines aspects of both technologies in the form of the fusion–fission hybrid reactor. The fusion–fission ...

The amount of energy produced from fusion is very large — four times as much as nuclear fission reactions — and fusion reactions can be the basis of future fusion power reactors. Plans call for ...

fission reactors and nuclear fusion. If you struggled with the quiz, don't panic - we've got you! You can revise nuclear fission and fusion by clicking the links below.

For decades, the U.S. has led the race to clean, limitless nuclear fusion energy. Now China is catching up, spending twice as ...

China has made a significant breakthrough in nuclear fusion technology, achieving record temperatures in its EAST experiment, ...

Plasma turbulence is the main driver to deteriorate the performance of fusion power plants. This work presents an unprecedented comparison of plasma turbulence between experiment and simulation ...

In this video, Jonny Nelson introduces an animated explanation of fission and fusion. The nuclei of atoms contain a large amount of energy. Releasing this energy could free the world from having ...
