Nuclear fusion may be closer to commercialization than previously thought, with private firms targeting operational reactors in the early 2030s. Major technical and economic hurdles remain, including ...

Researchers have found a faster, more accurate way to design magnetic “bottles” that hold plasma for fusion power. Using symmetry theory instead of traditional, slow Newton-based calculations, they ...

It happens in every emerging industry: founders and investors push toward a common goal, until the money starts to roll in and that shared vision begins to diverge. Cracks are emerging in the fusion ...

New research suggests that cost declines could be slow for the technology. Fusion power could provide a steady, zero-emissions source of electricity in the future—if companies can get plants built and ...

Advanced nuclear reactor company X-energy began trading Friday as the AI boom and electrification broadly spark a flurry of interest in the nuclear industry. The stock opened at $30.11, after upsizing ...

NEW YORK, April 21 (Reuters) - Construction of what could be the world's first commercial plant to generate power with fusion, the ‌process that powers the stars, is set to start in the U.S. in 2027, ...

During the same time India's first prototype fast breeder (FBR) reactor achieved criticality, Bengaluru-based startup Pranos raised $6.8 million in seed funding to build India's first commercial ...

Today, many fusion reactors rely on deuterium and tritium—heavy isotopes of hydrogen—to power fusion reactions. But where did this idea come from? Although the Manhattan Project makes mention of the ...

NASA’s Artemis II mission sent four humans to the moon for the first time in more than half a century. And it is just the beginning. In a speech at a space policy event on Tuesday, NASA chief Jared ...

In February 2025, a cheap Russian drone tore through Chornobyl’s confinement shelter. Workers warn the site of the world’s worst nuclear accident is not safe yet The dosimeter clipped to your chest ...
