Check out the infographic to learn about fusion energy. You’ll learn how fusion reactions power the Sun, what plasma and tokamaks are and how researchers at Princeton Plasma Physics Lab are trying to create a star on Earth.

Hydropower has been around for more than a century and is currently the nation's largest source of clean, domestic renewable electricity. Our new Hydropower Vision report explores how it could grow by 2050.

On July 21, 2000, scientists from Fermilab presented the first-ever direct evidence of the tau neutrino, a tiny discovery with big ramifications.

World climate leaders are meeting this week in Vienna for the next stage of international discussions about a global phase-down of climate-damaging hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs).

This meeting should lay the foundation for a 2016 amendment to the Montreal Protocol – a hugely successful global agreement that has put Earth’s fragile ozone layer on track to full restoration. A 2016 amendment would leverage the same proven mechanisms that helped fix the “ozone hole” to address another serious risk to the planet – HFCs.
