Today, we know that the sun, along with all other stars, is powered by a reaction called nuclear fusion. If nuclear fusion can be replicated on earth, it could provide virtually limitless clean, safe ...

A world record for nuclear fusion has been smashed after an ‘artificial sun’ reactor was able to maintain a plasma for more than 22 minutes. The WEST reactor, in southern France, is at the ...

The sun will end its life as a white dwarf. As a white dwarf, it is essentially a dead star that has exhausted all of the nuclear fuel ... and the energy from fusion reactions fuels our sun ...

For decades, scientists across the globe have attempted to replicate the Sun’s nuclear fusion processes in hopes of providing humanity with a limitless, clean energy source. A nuclear fusion ...

The CEA's (Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives) WEST tokamak nuclear fusion reactor maintained a steady loop of burning plasma for a record 1,337 seconds, according ...

It sounds like science fiction, doesn’t it? Yet, this is exactly the promise of nuclear fusion, the same process that powers the Sun. For decades, scientists and engineers have been chasing this ...

nuclear fusion generates power by combining atoms. It is best known as the process that powers the sun. CFS' reactor would generate this fusion reaction using a donut-shaped device called a tokamak.

France's WEST fusion reactor has shattered a nuclear fusion record set by China just a few weeks ago, marking yet another small but significant step on the road toward near-limitless clean energy.
