Google has taken a major step toward the future of clean energy by partnering with Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS), an MIT spin-out working to build one of the world’s first commercial fusion ...

A paper on fusion neutron sources by a team from the United States of America’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the University of Rochester has won the IAEA’s annual Nuclear Fusion prize.

Upgrading to 3.0MJ laser power would take more upgrades but could deliver 20-40X gain. This would be well on the way to proving the 100-200X science gain that is believed to be needed for viable ...

His reactor was modeled after a tokamak, a well-known design in fusion science. But rather than rely on lab-grade tools, he used a 12kV neon sign transformer to power the device.

Laser fusion, “a virtually limitless energy source,” is about using hydrogen fuel pellets containing hydrogen isotopes, firing them into a laser fusion power plant at a rate of approximately ...
