Here’s how a nuclear bomb actually works. The B61 and the B83 nuclear bombs currently in the United States’ arsenal are thermonuclear, or hydrogen bombs, and quite different than the fission weapons ...

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

Ultra-dense deuterium is a million times more dense than frozen deuterium, making it relatively easy to create a nuclear fusion reaction using high-power pulses of laser light.

The main fuels used in nuclear fusion are deuterium and tritium, both heavy isotopes of hydrogen. Deuterium constitutes a tiny fraction of natural hydrogen, only 0,0153%, and can be extracted ...

Scientists in the UK announce a new nuclear fusion energy record, bringing the futuristic energy source a step closer to reality ...

Let’s delve into the claim of Deuterium powered reactions, and circle around on the cold-fusion hype we found so sadly entertaining back in the ’90s. Ultra-Dense Deuterium ...

Deuterium is a stable isotope of hydrogen, which, unlike “normal” hydrogen atoms, or protium, also contains a neutron.

Researchers at the National Ignition Facility were measuring the kinetic energy of ions during their experiment when they saw something unexpected.

Squeezed state: and engineer at LLNL checks the equipment used to study liquid metallic hydrogen. (Courtesy: Jason Laurea/LLNL) New insights into how high pressures transform hydrogen into a liquid ...

Scientists at the world’s largest nuclear-fusion facility have achieved the phenomenon known as ignition—creating a nuclear reaction that generates more energy than it consumes. Results of the ...
