China's EAST nuclear fusion reactor has successfully kept plasma stable at extreme densities, passing a major fusion milestone and potentially bringing humanity closer to wielding near-limitless clean ...

A pair of nuclear reactors that have propelled a U.S. Navy supercarrier to hot spots around the world for half a century could end up repurposed to power a data center in Tennessee. HGP Intelligent ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Peter Suciu covers trends in the world of aerospace and defense. The final deployment of the USS Nimitz (CVN-68) came to an end ...

Fusion reactors are designed to produce clean energy, but new theory suggests they could also generate one of physics’ most elusive particles. A proposal from U.S. researchers argues that large fusion ...

A Texas power developer is proposing to use repurposed retired U.S. Navy nuclear reactors from aircraft carriers and submarines to supply continuous power to large-scale artificial intelligence data ...

Argentina aims to become self-sufficient and an exporter of radioisotopes when the RA-10 multipurpose reactor is operating, while Brazil says construction of its similar facility is due to start in ...

Radiant Industries Inc., a pioneering startup developing portable, mass-produced nuclear microreactors, said Wednesday it has raised more than $300 million in a late-stage funding round. Draper ...

Nuclear power is among the cleanest energy sources on Earth, but the materials that fuel it can degrade during operation. A new international study may unlock safer, longer-lasting fuel for the next ...

In May, President Trump sat in the Oval Office flanked by executives from America’s nuclear power industry. “It’s a hot industry. It’s a brilliant industry,” the president said from behind the ...

The interiors of fusion reactors can get seriously chaotic. But for obvious reasons—like extreme temperatures and pressures—researchers aren’t typically able to peek directly inside a reactor. Some ...

The answer is more complicated than it used to be, as multiple federal agencies are responsible for new nuclear reactors. Each story invokes an alphabet soup of acronyms — DOE, NRC, DoD, LPO, PTC, PPA ...

Scientists just brought us one step closer to the dream of unlimited power. On November 17 at the Nevada National Security Site, a nuclear energy startup called Valar Atomics achieved zero-power ...
