If all goes to plan, Virginia will be the site of the world’s first grid-scale nuclear fusion power plant, able to harness this futuristic clean power and generate electricity from it by the ...

The company will demonstrate that stellarators are capable of net energy production with its demo stellarator Alpha in 2031, and aims to deliver limitless, safe, clean fusion energy to the grid in ...

Unlike nuclear fission, where atoms are split to release energy, fusion sees atoms forced together. Bob Mumgaard, Commonwealth’s chief executive, said the deal with Google was a “strong signal that ...

Energy startup Commonwealth Fusion Systems has announced that it will begin construction of the "world's first grid-scale" nuclear fusion power plant near Richmond, Virginia. The MIT spinout ...

Zap Energy is a startup that hopes to create a fusion power plant in less than 10 years. It plans to use a Z-pinch device to create fusion reactions.

Grid computing's biggest stumbling block to adoption is education, said researcher Quocirca. The problem is not many understand the true value of this technology.

C ULHAM, A VILLAGE near Oxford, in England, is home to just 500 people. It is, though, next door to the nearest thing on Earth to a “Silicon Valley” of nuclear fusion.What is happening there ...

Back in 2004, Wired had a piece on the LHC's grid network. Les Robertson, who studied with Peter Higgs (of the boson) and head of the grid, realized distributed computing was the way to go.

The UK today embarked on a step toward building the world’s first nuclear fusion power station, by launching a search for a 100-plus hectare site where it can be plugged into the electricity grid.

Building, owning and operating a power plant to plug fusion power into the grid is its “next act,” Mumgaard said. The startup looked at more than 100 locations around the world for the power ...
