Fusion Energy Sciences | Department of Energy Fusion energy can potentially allow us to harness the same processes stars use to produce energy right here on Earth. Fusion occurs when two nuclei combine to form a new nucleus, a process that releases a huge amount of energy. Controlling this process offers a possible long-term energy source that uses abundant resources for its fuel and does not produce long-lived radioactive waste.
The Department of Energy has been a leader in fusion energy research since the 1950s and supports groundbreaking advances today. The DOE Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) program’s mission is to drive the scientific and technological foundation for a fusion energy source and support the development of a competitive U.S. fusion energy industry.
To develop fusion power as an affordable and reliable energy source, scientists must resolve foundational science and technology gaps. FES supports the fundamental research needed to address those challenges.
FES has four major science areas for fusion research: Theory, Simulation, and Artificial Intelligence Fusion Materials and Internal Components In service of these drivers, FES supports fusion facilities in both the public and private sectors.
Building on a foundation of research in academia, industry, and national laboratories, FES supports nationally coordinated public-private partnership programs to cultivate a growing fusion power industry. FES also pursues discovery research into plasma science and technology to provide the scientific underpinning for fusion energy and other technologies.
FES invests in foundational research in artificial intelligence and machine learning to accelerate progress in fusion energy science and technologies; quantum information science for future fusion diagnostics; and microelectronics for radiation hardened systems for fusion environments. The Fusion Energy Sciences program is guided by the Fusion Science and Technology Roadmap.
This strategy describes how the fusion community can "Build," "Innovate," and "Grow" to create a leading, robust American fusion energy industry. It also ensures that FES core research aligns with closing gaps along the critical path to fusion energy.
Using some of the most advanced experimental capabilities, the most powerful supercomputers, and the fastest networks in the world today, DOE-supported scientists are undertaking research and development towards fundamental progress to establish fusion energy’s viability.

DOE's FY2026 Office of Science open-call solicitation (DE-FOA-0003600) makes roughly $500 million available across about 500 awards of $50,000 to $5 million — across computing, physics, chemistry, biology, fusion, and isotopes — with a rolling window that stays open through September 30, 2026. Unlike a targeted NOFO, it lets investigators propose almost anything within the agency's mission. Here is how the open call actually works, why it is chronically underused, and how to write into it.
Read articleThe DOE Genesis Mission RFA closed its Phase II window on May 19. With $293.76M, 21 topics, and 99 focus areas, it is the largest single federal AI-for-science procurement in 2026. Here is what survived the cut and what comes next.
Read articleOn July 22, 2026, the White House announced more than $5 billion in federal commitments for the Genesis Mission — the Department of Energy-led national initiative to fuse AI, exascale computing, and the 17 national labs into a single scientific platform. Nearly 300 projects across all 50 states were selected from a historic Request for Applications, and 15-plus agencies are now attaching funding to a set of National Science and Technology Challenges. Here is what the Genesis Mission is, how the money is structured, and the concrete on-ramps for researchers, universities, and small businesses who were not in the first cohort.
