A team of researchers have made a discovery which could be crucial to perfecting nuclear fusion, by creating an impossible ...
Researchers have found an environmentally safer way to extract the lithium 6 needed to create fuel for nuclear fusion ...
Lithium-6 is a crucial material for nuclear fusion reactors, but isolating it is challenging – now researchers have found a ...
Plans call for first-generation fusion reactors to use a mixture of deuterium and tritium — heavy types of hydrogen. In theory, with just a few grams of these reactants, it is possible to produce a ...
In a commercial fusion system, the fuel will likely be made of deuterium and tritium, which are both forms of hydrogen. Tritium is radioactive, but deuterium is not. So, the experiments used ...
These systems now rank among the best in the world, and they’ve helped set multiple records in China’s fusion research,’ ...
Type One Energy has published the world’s first detailed and self-consistent physics basis for a practical fusion pilot power ...
Advertisement Fusion powerplants rely on two hydrogen isotopes – deuterium and tritium – to produce energy. While deuterium is easily extracted from seawater, tritium is in scarce supply and ...
Courtesy: Fabian Christ, Targetry Team, Focused Energy Wetted foams offer a viable path to reduce the time it takes to make a deuterium-tritium layer within a fusion fuel target. However ...
