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 ...

Today, we know that the sun, along with all other stars, is powered by a reaction called nuclear fusion. If nuclear fusion can be replicated on earth, it could provide virtually limitless clean, safe ...

When all the hydrogen has been used up in the fusion process, larger nuclei begin to form and the star may expand to become a red giant. The most massive stars expand to form red supergiants.

Jon Chase explains the nuclear fusion that causes stars like our sun to give out enormous heat. Film footage of a nuclear explosion in a hydrogen bomb is used to draw an analogy with the sun’s ...

Joaquín Bohigas Bosch, former researcher at the National Autonomous University of Mexico and Oxford University, will explain ...

White dwarfs are stars that have burned up all of the hydrogen they once used as nuclear fuel. Fusion in a star's core produces heat and outward pressure, but this pressure is kept in balance by ...

The IAEA will be organizing a webinar series focusing on the latest breakthroughs and landmark achievements announced in fusion R&D. The series will give an overview and put in perspective the most ...
