In a recent experiment, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics sustained a stable plasma reaction in the ...

As technological societies advance, their energy demands skyrocket, pushing them up the Kardashev scale. While fossil fuels, ...

Two Los Alamos Laboratory scientists discovered Arthur Ruhlig’s major contributions to fusion physics, and they did so ...

Hydrogen-2 (deuterium or D) comprises a proton and a neutron and accounts for just 0.015% of hydrogen nuclei in sea water. An isotope with two neutrons – tritium or T — is also found on Earth but is ...

Noting that deuterium nuclei are heavier than hydrogen, the researchers reasoned that they should be less delocalized than protons and thus should require more pressure to transition.

Nuclear fusion was first achieved by British physicist Ernest Rutherford in 1934, when he and his colleagues discovered that they could bombard deuterium with deuterium nuclei (two versions of ...

In the current study, the researchers investigated the mass-to-charge ratio of helium-3 nuclei and deuterium nuclei and their respective antiparticles.

Nuclear physicists at the Argonne National Laboratory in the US have obtained the first results from a new spectrometer that contains the magnet from a mothballed MRI machine. They used the Helical ...

The interior of the donut-shaped Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST). Hydrogen plasma is confined in this chamber by strong magnetic fields, where it fuses into heavier nuclei.

Quadrupolar nuclei measured by zero-field NMR Date: July 11 ... To what extent does the number of deuterium atoms in an ammonium molecule influence the spectrum and the relaxation characteristics ...
