After decades of funding research to harness the power of nuclear fusion, the agency has announced grants to help start-ups develop commercial fusion reactors.

Researchers have developed a global first: less than one second of controlled hydrogen fusion that created more energy than had been required to initiate it.

Scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have created a nuclear fusion reaction that for the first time produced a net energy gain.

The Atlantic Council, working with the U.S. Nuclear Industry Council, webcast an 8-hour live program featuring more than 30 speakers in a half-dozen panels.

Private investors poured an additional $500 million into a company that believes the fusion reactor it’s developing can achieve net electricity generation.
