Materials scientists at Stony Brook University in New York are developing increasingly resilient nuclear reactors designed to conduct fission and fusion reactions even under severe radiation and high ...
About 60 years ago, Russian physicist Lev Artsimovich said nuclear fusion “will be ready when society needs it”. The UK has achieved a “major breakthrough for fusion energy research”, the UK Atomic ...
Nuclear fusion has long been the energy world’s moonshot, a reaction so powerful and so difficult to tame that many physicists once doubted it would ever be harnessed on Earth. Yet in the past few ...
A powerful, open-source software package named OpenMC has emerged as a cornerstone in the global effort to develop the next generation of nuclear energy. Recently honored with an R&D 100 Award, the ...

Physicists at The University of Texas at Austin have designed a new system that, when fully developed, would use fusion to eliminate most of the transuranic waste produced by nuclear power plants. The ...
The promise of nuclear fusion feels simple. Just as stars fuse hydrogen into heavier elements to produce energy, a fusion reactor generates massive amounts of energy by combining lightweight particles ...
Ever wondered about Fission and Fusion, then public and campus community are encouraged to attend a panel talk from 6 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 3 in the UMass Lowell Emerging Technologies and ...
GREIFSWALD, GERMANY - OCTOBER 29: A worker explains a photo taken about a year and a half ago that shows construction of the interior plasma chamber of the Wendelstein 7-X experimental fusion reactor ...
