Once a government-led pursuit, nuclear fusion is now a private-capital race, much of it financed by the same people building AI.

Nuclear fusion holds the potential for clean, greenhouse gas-free baseload power, but challenges in controlling plasma have hindered its commercial viability. Recent breakthroughs, particularly with ...

Has the dawn of the nuclear fusion age arrived? One developer of the powerful energy-generating tech says it will be available in 10 years.

In late 2022, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory achieved a historic nuclear fusion breakthrough by creating a fusion reaction that produced more energy than the lasers used to create it.

While not as highlight-reel worthy as the Winter Olympics and the World Cup, experts expect high-performance computing (HPC) to have an even bigger ...

The massive energy demands of the artificial intelligence boom are accelerating the private-sector development of nuclear fusion, which promises a clean and limitless power source.

Oak Ridge National Laboratory is quietly tackling one of fusion energy’s toughest engineering problems: turning raw neutron ...
