A British company has validated the high tritium breeding performance of the FLARE concept, ...
Helion’s Polaris prototype has become the first privately funded machine to demonstrate clearly measurable deuterium–tritium ...
Fusion research company Helion Energy said its Polaris prototype has set new industry benchmarks, becoming the first privately developed fusion energy machine to demonstrate measurable ...
Fusion reactors, while producing energy, also produce neutron streams that can cause radiation damage, produce radioactive waste, necessitate biological shielding, and even create the potential for ...
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 ...
Today, many fusion reactors rely on deuterium and tritium—heavy isotopes of hydrogen—to power fusion reactions. But where did this idea come from? Although the Manhattan Project makes mention of the ...
An experimental nuclear fusion project has set a world record in generating energy on Earth using the same kind of reactions that power the sun. In the new experiments, the Joint European Torus (JET) ...
