A swift transition from fission to fusion not only would allow us to escape the worst medium- to long-term environmental and social ramifications of climate change, it also would enable the creation ...

Big tech is backing nuclear fission as it's in search of new sources of power to fuel AI and data centers, as evidenced by Commonwealth Fusion Systems's latest round.

Fusion is among the most environmentally friendly sources of energy. There are no CO 2 or other harmful atmospheric emissions from the fusion process, which means that fusion does not contribute to ...

When that chemical reaction happens, it gives off energy. Fission vs. fusion Nuclear fission is the opposite of nuclear fusion in that the former unleashes energy by splitting heavy atoms apart.

A series of modules make up a crucial part of a facility looking to turn fusion power into electricity generation.

Commonwealth Fusion Systems is trying to show that its experimental device can continuously generate more energy than it consumes.

Given the considerable scientific, engineering, and commercial hurdles facing nuclear fusion, fission seems to offer a more promising nuclear solution to the world’s burgeoning power needs.

Unlike fission, nuclear fusion also has the added benefit of being self-sustaining without creating harmful waste. However, achieving and controlling fusion has been a lot more difficult for ...

Here we study fission and fusion of magnetic microswimmer clusters as governed by their hydrodynamic and dipolar interactions.

Solar, wind, geothermal, hydropower, solar heat, fission & hydrogen have roles to play in the energy mix of the future. The priority, however, is to prepare for the electrification of everything ...
