After the National Ignition Facility in California's first successful scientific breakeven through nuclear fusion, mankind is all the more serious about reaching the promised land of near-limitless ...

Fusion energy is that released when two light nuclei combine to form a single heavier one (nuclear fusion reaction). Fusion energy-based power generation (fusion power plant) uses the energy generated ...

Screenshots from a 'Neon-Seed Integrated ITER Baseline Plasma Scenarios in Deuterium-Tritium' pulse video recorded during the EUROfusion DTE3 campaign at JET, showcasing pivotal experiments at the ...

A new method to increase fusion-fuel efficiency would involve aligning the quantum spin of deuterium and tritium and changing the mix of the two fuels. The approach could boost tritium-burn efficiency ...

(Nanowerk News) Deuterium, the heavy brother of hydrogen, is considered a promising material of the future – because of its wide range of applications: in science, for energy generation, or in the ...

New research offers insights that could help reduce the amount of radioactive tritium embedded in the walls of fusion vessels to a minimum. To develop a practical fusion power system, scientists need ...

A Los Alamos collaboration has replicated an important but largely forgotten physics experiment: the first deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion observation. As described in the article published in Physical ...

Tritium is ridiculously rare, incredibly expensive, and central to most fusion energy reactor designs. If research out of Los Alamos National Lab proves to hold true, it might soon become easier to ...
