China is set to build the world’s first fusion-fission hybrid power plant, a revolutionary step in nuclear energy. The ...

What’s the difference between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion? Both are nuclear processes, in that they involve nuclear forces to change the nucleus of atoms. Chemical processes on the other hand ...

Fusion has long been the propulsion end-goal for interplanetary travel, and a U.K.-based company thinks on its way to ...

A multibillion-dollar project is set to be constructed in China, the country's latest move in a push for nuclear energy.

there is growing interest within the fusion community in revisiting the concept of the fusion–fission hybrid reactor. But how soon could such reactors be realized, and could they meet the ...

But the consequences could be huge. Fusion is a process that merges atoms together, and releases more energy than fission (which splits atoms apart). Fission is used by today's nuclear power ...

Nuclear energy is energy created via a fission or fusion reaction of atoms. These reactions produce heat that is then used to generate electricity. While nuclear energy is a clean source of power ...

China is moving to initiate the world's first fusion-fission reactor by 2031, the latest indication that Beijing is seizing ...

Researchers have found an environmentally safer way to extract the lithium 6 needed to create fuel for nuclear fusion ...

Plasma turbulence is the main driver to deteriorate the performance of fusion power plants. This work presents an unprecedented comparison of plasma turbulence between experiment and simulation ...

If 100 megawatt hybrid plant is on schedule, it could put China decades ahead of comparable efforts in the rest of the world ...
