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

The film discusses the significance and applications of radioisotopes in various fields, including agriculture, medicine, and ...

Nuclear energy accounts for 10 percent of the world’s energy, and estimates say that by 2050, that number could increase by 2.5 times. That increase in nuclear energy also means an increase in ...

Powering spacecraft with solar energy may not seem like a challenge, given how intense the sun's light can feel on Earth.

A world record for nuclear fusion has been smashed after an ‘artificial sun’ reactor was able to maintain a plasma for more than 22 minutes. The WEST reactor, in southern France, is at the ...

Dinan outlined the concept at Space-Comm Expo in London, which also featured speakers from the European Space Agency, UK Space Agency, NASA as well as Virgin Galactic's Sir Richard Branson "We are ...

Nuclear fusion – in contrast to the established nuclear fission, where atoms are split to release vast quantities of energy – remains in the embryonic stage of development, but a growing ...

Here’s what to know. Nuclear energy is a carbon-free power source produced by breaking atoms apart inside a reactor, a process called fission. Unlike coal and other fossil fuels, this type of ...

Talk of replacing the American nuclear umbrella over Europe with the small British and French nuclear armories is in the air, however vague and fanciful. By Steven Erlanger Reporting from Berlin ...

Nuclear fusion is a technology with the ultimate goal of controlling naturally unstable plasma. It uses even fewer resources and less fuel than fission, which was already very concentrated ...
