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

The reason why opposite processes release energy can be understood by examining the binding energy per nucleon curve. Both fusion and fission reactions shift the size of the reactant nuclei towards ...

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 ...

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 rockets are the future of space propulsion, and while fission propulsion is rapidly developing, most believe fusion propulsion is still a ways off. However, a new U.K.-based company is ...

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 ...
