Inertial confinement fusion is one method for generating energy through nuclear fusion, albeit one plagued by all manner of scientific challenges (although progress is being made). Researchers at ...

The aim of inertial confinement fusion is to ignite a target containing compressed fusion fuel—deuterium (heavy hydrogen) and tritium (super-heavy hydrogen)—so that it will burn (react) significantly ...

For decades, humans have sought to harness the power of the stars to generate electricity here on Earth. And for nearly as long, achieving that goal always seemed just a decade away. Now, a slew of ...

Fusion is a natural phenomenon that provides our planet with much of its energy—generated millions of miles away in the center of our sun. Here on Earth, scientists are trying to replicate the hot and ...

The indirect-drive approach to inertial confinement fusion (ICF) uses a complex chain of energy transfers to drive a highly controlled implosion of a cryogenic, spherical capsule containing fusion ...

Inertia Enterprises announced it has raised a $450 million in Series A financing to advance a commercial fusion energy program based on inertial confinement fusion physics demonstrated at the National ...

It wasn’t a fluke: Researchers at a Department of Energy (DOE) lab have repeated their breakthrough fusion power experiment. Only this time, the results are even better. On July 30, lasers once again ...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced $42 million for a program that will establish multi-institutional and multi-disciplinary hubs to advance foundational inertial ...
