In the city of Everett, inside a vault built with thick concrete blocks is Polaris, a machine that could change the world.

Harnessing the reaction that powers the stars could offer potentially unlimited carbon-free energy, and the race is hotting ...

The ‘artificial sun’ hits 100 million°C for over 17 minutes, marking a major leap toward sustainable nuclear fusion energy.

The race is on to harness the near-infinite power of nuclear fusion—by building a star on Earth. And scientists are closer than you might think. Nuclear fusion in the sun occurs when hydrogen is ...

Illustration showing the fraction of elements for a first-generation star vs the Sun. First-generation stars are almost entirely hydrogen and helium, while the Sun also contains heavier elements ...

Chinese scientists set world record with magnetic field 700,000 times Earth’s. Credit: ASIPP In Hefei, China, physicists switched on a new machine that pushed magnetic fields to record strength. As ...

A nuclear fusion reactor in Germany has reached world record numbers for runtime. The tokamak dominates fusion research in 2025, but stellarators are making a comeback. A stellarator is still a donut ...

While many critics of nuclear fusion have long dismissed it as science fiction fantasy, researchers have made an enormous breakthrough, bringing the promise of a virtually unlimited power source one ...

Discover the potential of nuclear fusion power—the ultimate clean energy source that offers virtually limitless power derived from sea water and is significantly safer than current fission reactors.

Following a months-long search for a new $1 billion nuclear fusion site, Fremont-based energy startup company Pacific Fusion announced the winner is Albuquerque, New Mexico, which beat out Bay Area ...
