Stephen Hawking: Why we should embrace fusion power
In an exclusive video for BBC Future, the world's most famous physicist explains how he would like to change our society. How can we build a better world for tomorrow? At the launch of Cambridge University’s Big Data Institute, we recently asked the physicist Stephen Hawking to describe the one idea that would transform our society. He chose nuclear fusion – the process of releasing energy by transforming hydrogen atoms into helium.

Scientists are one step closer to understanding nuclear fusion power
The universe is full of phenomena that we can’t fully explain: Black holes, exploding stars, rapidly spinning stellar corpses... In order to get closer to understanding these cosmic oddities, scientists have to constantly push the boundaries of science, advancing technology and marrying seemingly unrelated fields of physics to create more powerful theories. Researchers at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have developed a new way to explore some of the most extreme environments in the universe by combining three separate branches of physics...

The secretive, billionaire-backed plans to harness fusion
Inside a laboratory near Vancouver in British Columbia, an alarm is blaring. In the middle of the industrial warehouse stands what looks like a cannon from a spaceship, about five metres long and festooned in wires. None of the lab's red-coat-wearing technicians seem fazed by the noise. The siren, which alerts workers to don protective earmuffs in case of a blown fuse, precedes every test “shot” on this prototype nuclear fusion reactor – and these engineers...

This cold fusion generat..err reactor will power your home forever, or so they claim
Andrea Rossi's E-Cat -- the device that purports to use cold fusion to generate massive amounts of cheap, green energy -- has been verified by third-party researchers, according to a new 54-page report. The researchers observed a small E-Cat over 32 days, where it produced net energy of 1.5 megawatt-hours, or 'far more than can be obtained from any known chemical sources in the small reactor volume...
