Fusion startups have been on a fundraising tear lately, and a young startup, Acceleron Fusion, is joining the pack, having raised $15 million of a targeted $23.7 million round, according to an SEC ...

The Thunderbird Reactor is a custom-made, bench-top-sized particle accelerator and electrochemical reactor built by an interdisciplinary team at the University of British Columbia. Using a small bench ...

Stanley Pons, the scientist behind the controversial cold fusion experiment, resurfaced in headlines after Jeffrey Epstein allegedly claimed he had “killed Pons years ago.” Here’s what we know about ...

The US National Ignition Facility is the only laboratory where a nuclear-fusion reaction has generated more energy than it consumed. Here’s how it achieved this historic milestone and sparked fresh ...

Forward-looking: While the path to practical fusion energy remains long, the recent advances at the National Ignition Facility have emboldened researchers. The facility's ongoing progress is a ...

This early work laid the groundwork for today’s fusion experiments. More famously—or infamously—in 1989, two researchers claimed they had achieved “cold fusion” by running deuterium oxide through a ...
