Tim Luce, chief scientist of ITER, the giant experimental fusion ... To generate energy by harnessing nuclear fusion, the power source of the stars. Fusion, if it can ever be tamed, promises ...

The biggest stars are blue stars, and they are particularly ... requires more heat and pressure for nuclear fusion. As a red giant burns through its helium, producing carbon and other elements ...

But after December's breakthrough, we were invited to tour the lab and meet the team that brought star power down to Earth. Uncontrolled fusion ... giant planets, or the sun, or in operating ...

There's one more stage every star goes through before their paths start to diverge based on their mass, and this is called the red giant phase. During the main sequence phase, nuclear fusion in ...

Blue stars are by far ... higher-luminosity blue giant. As it progresses through this phase, the core temperature steadily rises until it's high enough to trigger the fusion of helium into heavier ...

At that temperature, protons can collide so forcefully that nuclear fusion ... the star grow larger, they cool off and become reddish in color. A red star is cooler at its surface than a blue ...

V664 Cas is a binary system consisting of a white dwarf, a stellar corpse, and a red giant star ... ejected from a star as it exhausted its supply of fuel to sustain nuclear fusion in its core.

A team from the Flatiron Institute in New York City calculated that giant flares emitted ... ones were formed through nuclear fusion in stellar cores during stars' lives — or in the aftermath ...

This is a huge nuclear ... stars or in nuclear weapons,” said Brian Appelbe, a research fellow from the Centre for Inertial Fusion Studies at Imperial College London. Eveleth says the four giant ...
