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

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

The need for limitless, clean energy has pushed scientists to explore efficient fusion reactor designs. Now, the world’s most advanced tokamak has achieved stable Deuterium-Tritium plasmas ...

The U.S.-based fusion company SHINE announced earlier this month that they witnessed the phenomenon during a deuterium-tritium fusion process. When an object travels faster than the speed of sound ...

Modern re-run shows that Arthur Ruhlig’s conclusions, which probably influenced early thinking about fusion energy, were ...

The plant Google invested in isn’t going to be built until the early 203. When it starts generating usable fusion energy is ...

Full power operations using a deuterium/tritium fuel mix will be set back by four years. Even if this new schedule is kept, however, that won't be until 2039. So, we're looking at 15 years even if ...

A proposal to build a fusion-demonstration system in Livermore might soon help bring the world closer to the clean, abundant energy promised by fusion power.

On earth, we need temperatures exceeding 100 million degrees Celsius and intense pressure to make deuterium and tritium fuse, and sufficient confinement to hold the plasma and maintain the fusion ...

The most potent deuterium-tritium fusion reactions are possible only if the fusion reactor has a lithium blanket. Highly energetic (14 MeV) neutrons from the fusion reactions, the source of the ...
