Scientists at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have developed a method to increase fusion reaction rates at room temperature. Using a custom-built, bench-top reactor, the team demonstrated ...

A team of University of Wisconsin-Madison scientists has taken a major step toward creating a clean, reliable and powerful source of energy. Four years in the making, it is part of a broader approach ...

Five hundred years ago, the Aztec civilization in today’s Mexico believed that the sun and all its power was sustained by blood from human sacrifice. Today, we know that the sun, along with all other ...

While nuclear fission derives energy from splitting atomic nuclei, nuclear fusion does so by joining them, releasing energy in the process. Though both atomic reactions produce energy by modifying ...
