Reactors designed to produce energy from the fusion of atoms could have an unexpected scientific side benefit. An ...

Fictional particle physicists Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hofstadter worked on the problem in three episodes of the show’s ...

A professor at the University of Cincinnati and his colleagues have figured out something two of America's most famous ...

Fusion reactors might help detect dark matter, suggests a study with contributions from a University of Cincinnati professor.

Let’s start with the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s National Ignition Facility (NIF)—arguably the largest, most established fusion research facility in the world. This year, NIF continued ...

More than 100 scientists from around the world met in Shizuoka, Japan, last week to discuss the physics of energetic particles and instabilities in fusion plasmas – the state of matter in which nuclei ...

The insides of nuclear fusion reactors are violent and chaotic places. A new cold-spray coating can take the heat and also trap some rogue hydrogen particles at the same time, potentially making for ...

The all-stock transaction is worth $6 billion. Ownership of the combined company is set to be evenly split between the ...

The advent of high-intensity-pulsed laser technology enables the generation of extreme states of matter under conditions that are far from thermal equilibrium. This in turn could enable different ...

SPARC, a next-generation fusion device from MIT and Commonwealth Fusion Systems, uses powerful superconducting magnets to confine plasma and sustain fusion reactions. Recent studies confirm its design ...

The daydream of science-fiction fans and supervillains everywhere has inched one step closer to reality: Scientists have demonstrated a new technique for nuclear fusion, the process that fuels stars ...

Jon Krosnick is acutely aware of the paradox at the center of his professional life. As the director of the Political Psychology Research Group at Stanford University, where he’s also a professor of ...
