A Los Alamos collaboration has replicated an important but largely forgotten physics experiment: the first deuterium-tritium ...

But a deuterium-fueled “test reactor” with 50 megawatts of heating power and producing only 5 megawatts of deuterium-deuterium fusion power could yield about 3 kilograms of plutonium 239 in one year ...

If fusion energy is a must-have for advanced civilizations, evidence of its use could help us find aliens. A new study led by the University of Washington analyzes how deuterium-deuterium (DD ...

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 ...

A mixture of deuterium and tritium – another isotope of hydrogen with two extra neutrons – is planned to be used to fuel future fusion power plants to replicate a “mini sun” on Earth. ITER – the ...
