The idea of powering a house with a single atom might seem like science fiction, but recent advancements in nuclear physics ...

Google is making a big bet on a power source that hasn’t yet been used successfully anywhere in the world: nuclear fusion.

Google has signed an offtake agreement for 200 MW of power from Commonwealth Fusion Systems’ (CFS) developing fusion power ...

Fusion, by contrast, relies on the universe’s smallest atom, hydrogen. Energy is released when two hydrogen nuclei combine to produce a helium nucleus and a neutron.

Nuclear fusion, the combining of the tiniest element, hydrogen atoms, to produce tremendous amounts of clean energy, isn’t far fetched. The sun (like all stars) has been doing it for a few bi… ...

From the definition of bosons to the difference between fusion and fission, we've compiled a list of the concepts to know before seeing "Oppenheimer." ...

All the elements in the Periodic Table are made from different atoms, and the structure of these atoms results in a gamut of phenomena from radioactive decay to nuclear power.

Nuclear fusion is the merging of two light atomic nuclei into one heavier one. If it can be harnessed on Earth, it could generate clean, limitless energy.

Fission is the process by which an atom splits into two, generating two smaller atoms and a tremendous amount of energy. Fission powers nuclear bombs and power plants.

Colorado State University and the German company Marvel Fusion are teaming up to develop what is expected to be one of the most powerful laser facilities in the world and a major step in the quest ...
