The energy source that drives vesicle fusion with a target organelle in vivo has been unclear. It emerges that proteins that tether fusing structures together also decrease the energy needed for the ...

It’s rarely appreciated just how much more complicated nuclear fusion is than nuclear fission. Whereas the latter involves a process that happens all around us without any human involvement, and where ...

Nuclear fusion, the process that powers every star in the observable universe, has moved from theoretical physics into the realm of real laboratory results. On December 5, 2022, scientists achieved ...

A team at the Colorado School of Mines is working to create hydrogen membranes for use in nuclear fusion power plants. The project, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects ...

The Department of Energy announced Tuesday it has achieved a major milestone for fusion energy. The Department of Energy announced Tuesday that its scientists have produced the first ever fusion ...

Nuclear fusion is the process that powers the sun and other stars through the combination of two hydrogen atoms into one helium atom. In that process, part of the mass of the hydrogen is converted to ...

The quest to create a fusion reactor capable of near-limitless energy has made a bounding leap forward. According to a new study, scientists working at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory were ...

There’s no silver bullet to the climate crisis, but nuclear fusion may be the closest thing to it. In the quest for a near-limitless, zero-carbon source of reliable power, scientists have generated ...
