Sabine Hossenfelder How close is nuclear fusion to break-even? If you trust the headlines we’re getting close and the international project ITER is going to be the first to produce energy from fusion power. But not so fast. Scientists have, accidentally or deliberately, come to use a very misleading quantity to measure their progress. Unfortunately … Read more

We tour General Fusion’s insanely high tech nuclear fusion research facility!
In nuclear fusion may lie the key to many of the world’s energy problems. CBC’s Frédéric Zalac sizes up some of the players that are working hard to master it, including General Fusion — a small Canadian company based out of a Burnaby, B.C. warehouse. Welcome to The National, the flagship nightly newscast of CBC … Read more
A new study claims binding elementary particles produces a powerful subatomic event. Scientists have overcome huge barriers in the past year to get us even closer to nuclear fusion, and with it a near limitless supply of clean energy. But, what if there’s something far more powerful out there? According to researchers at Tel Aviv … Read more
