UK scientists make major nuclear fusion energy breakthrough: Everything you need to know

UK-based scientists have made a major breakthrough in their quest to turn nuclear fusion energy into a viable low carbon, low radiation energy source.

Nuclear scientists come one step closer to developing a clean energy source

The energy only lasted for 100 trillionths of a second but it took them closer to the holy grail of fusion ignition - where more energy was created than what they were using.

New source of neutrinos from the Sun spotted in a first by Borexino collaboration

The study and its findings are still awaiting peer review before the announcement is made official.

Indian science has landmark moment at ITER, a global effort to create first-ever nuclear fusion device

ITER is a 35-country-effort to build the world’s first nuclear fusion device that, if all goes well, will be capable of producing electricity for our commercial purposes by 2045. Nine per cent of the $25 billion worth project is being borne by India as an 'in kind' contribution; 23 July 2019 marked a celebration of this contribution

World's second EPR-style nuclear fusion reactor greenlit to operate in China

The next-gen reactor carried out its first reaction, becoming only second in the world to reach the milestone.

Move over, Large Hadron Collider: Here's what CERN's replacement could discover

The FCC has a massive 100km circular tunnel around Geneva & the surrounding countryside.

CERN's new concept for a next-gen particle smasher dwarfs the Large Hadron

CERN scientists have laid out a $40 billion vision to build a reactor 4 times larger than the LHC.

Nuclear fusion reactor in Germany sets multiple records towards sustainable energy

The Wendelstein 7-X reactor has broken records for the highest plasma and energy density from fusion.

China’s artificial Sun reaches fusion temperatures thrice that of the real Sun

At 100 million °C, the reactor attained the minimum temperature needed for sustained nuclear fusion.

How far are we from nuclear fusion as a commercially-viable energy source?

Critics are unsure that money thrown at fusion will prove a commercially-viable energy source.
