One thousand and fifty-six seconds, 17.6 minutes, may not sound like much time to us, but less than two weeks ago, China’s ...

Satellite images reveal China is building a massive laser fusion facility, which can be used in nuclear weapons research as ...

The technology could help produce more resistant materials and allow scientists more control over fusion reactions.

Heavy-ion fusion reactions are a critical area of study in nuclear physics, particularly for understanding how atomic nuclei combine at low energies, known as sub-barrier energies. These reactions ...

For example, the heating system ... Unlike nuclear fission, the nuclear fusion reaction in a tokamak is an inherently safe ...

Chinese researchers set a new record by sustaining a nuclear fusion reaction at 100 million degrees Celsius for 1,066 seconds.

The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), commonly known as China's "artificial sun," has achieved a ...

Scientists have succeeded in maintaining an "artificial sun" here on Earth for a whopping 17 minutes and 46 seconds.

Nuclear fusion, the same reaction powering the Sun, has for many years been predicted as the ultimate clean energy source.

Chinese researchers set a new record by sustaining a nuclear fusion reaction at 100 million degrees Celsius for 1,066 seconds. China invests nearly double the U.S. in fusion research, with Energy ...
