The keys to harnessing fusion power—a clean, almost limitless supply of energy—sit in the heart of the sun. The only way we can access that heart is by listening to the sun’s heartbeat. To ...

Nuclear Fusion Edges Closer As Another Way to Harness Sun's Energy Revealed Published Mar 08, 2022 at 12:19 PM EST Updated Mar 09, 2022 at 9:56 AM EST By Robert Lea ...

Nuclear power plants today are fueled by the reaction from nuclear fission, the process of splitting atoms to create energy. Fusion is just the opposite: merging hydrogen atoms into helium the ...

Fusion in the sun's center works by pressing four hydrogen atoms together to form one helium atom and energy. The extreme weight of the sun provides the pressure needed.

Last month, nuclear fusion topped headlines around the world when scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California announced an essential milestone in developing this nascent ...
