The IAEA and Italy co-hosted a landmark ministerial meeting in Rome for the World Fusion Energy Group (WFEG), emphasizing fusion energy’s momentum. Officials from many countries acknowledged recent ...

making the faster pursuit of fusion energy a crucial area of focus. The IAEA World Fusion Energy Group (WFEG) is the concrete manifestation of this ambition. The inaugural ministerial meeting of the ...

So to one day make fusion a feasible energy source, reactors will need to be built with materials that can survive the heat and irradiation generated by fusion reactions. Fusion material challenges ...

Sophie Blondel receives funding from the US Department of Energy. Fusion energy has the potential to be an effective clean energy source, as its reactions generate incredibly large amounts of energy.

Fusion energy's potential for unlimited clean energy makes it a tantalizing prospect, and researchers around the world are making efforts to advance the groundbreaking technology. Now, one piece of ...

Unlike fission, nuclear fusion produces energy by combining two light elements to make a heavier one. But fusion energy is an unproven solution to the sustainability challenge of AI. And the ...

Fusion energy has the potential to be an effective clean energy source, as its reactions generate incredibly large amounts of energy. Fusion reactors aim to reproduce on Earth what happens in the ...

The Fusion and Fission Energy and Science Directorate (FFESD) addresses compelling challenges in fission and fusion energy systems, enabling Oak Ridge National Laboratory to pursue national priorities ...

A Seattle-based company has unveiled its new nuclear fusion prototype with the goal of delivering commercially viable fusion energy as soon as possible. Zap Energy revealed its Century device ...

Today, we know that the sun, along with all other stars, is powered by a reaction called nuclear fusion. If nuclear fusion can be replicated on earth, it could provide virtually limitless clean, safe ...

making commercial fusion power a reality takes on new importance. In a power system dominated by low-carbon variable renewable energy sources (VREs) such as solar and wind, "firm" electricity sources ...

The activities will be carried out in three phases: a first analytical one, a second to build a prototype of a small-scale commercial inertial fusion energy (IFE) reactor ("Small-scale Fusion ...
