Scientists have long studied the life cycle of stars, and a recent discovery has shed light on the eventual demise of our Sun ...

Fusion energy is often called the “holy grail” of energy because of its incredible potential. Unlike fossil fuels, fusion ...

I described how some of the heavier elements will fission, releasing energy as they get smaller.  Modern physics also shows the lighter 26 elements release energy as they get larger ...

Researchers say recent advancements with inertial confinement fusion bring us one step closer to making accessible nuclear ...

To force the hydrogen atoms to combine, powerful magnetic fields confine the charged-particle (electron, ion) constituents of the plasma. Containing the high-density plasma and keeping it away from ...

So, when clean energy developer Whitebark Energy was given the opportunity a few months ago to buy the gas, hydrogen and helium exploration portfolio of King Energy in South Australia, it jumped ...

Helium 3 is rare on Earth ... and tritium, also a hydrogen isotope. Difficulties include creating a fusion reaction that is stable, long lasting, and takes less energy to produce than it generates.

The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted one of the earliest and most distant supernovas, marking the death of a stellar ...

Water is the essence of life. Every living thing on Earth contains water within it. The Earth is rich with life because it is ...

Geoscience Australia, in collaboration with the Geological Survey of New South Wales, have found elevated levels of natural hydrogen and helium in locations throughout New South Wales. A new report ...

Water’s hydrogen came from the Big Bang, while oxygen was forged in massive stars. Explosive Pop III stars enriched space, ...

Unlike nuclear fission – which splits atoms and creates dangerous radioactive waste – fusion uses hydrogen isotopes (like tritium and deuterium) and produces helium as a harmless byproduct.
