Like earthquakes, ripples of gas on a star's surface — referred to as stellar quakes — offer clues about what lies beneath.

Scientists are conducting experiments to generate clean energy through fusion, the same sub-atomic reaction that powers our Sun, with the aim of constructing plants that produce more energy than they ...

Nuclear fusion is crucial in a star ... forming process begins once again to complete the stellar life cycle. Finally, remnant stars with a mass of less than 2.2–2.9 solar masses—known ...

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory are harnessing the power of computers to ...

The life cycle for a particular star depends on its size ... for the hydrogen nuclei to fuse together to make helium. The fusion process releases energy, which keeps the core of the star hot.

Replicating the nuclear fusion process requires a similar way to overcome the Coulomb barrier, but in lieu of even a small-sized star like our ... allow for about 1 cycle per second.
