Fusion Around the World
Plasma Science and Fusion Center researchers discover a path to overcoming the plasma density limit in their quest for steady-state fusion.
With the help of venture capital funding and new technologies, a cadre of companies wants to commercialize fusion energy in the next 20 years.
One of the paradoxes of fusion, the virtually inexhaustible energy of the future, is that it relies on an element that does not exist—or just barely.
Fusion, the process that powers the sun, has long been seen as a potential means of generating abundant, clean energy.
