Scientists have replicated a forgotten but crucial experiment that took place in 1938. The first-ever triton-deuterium ...

A collaborative research team has pioneered a laser-driven micro-pinch with 3D-PIC simulation to generate ultra-intense neutron pulses. By compressing deuterium in nanowires to over 120 times its ...

Among fusion reactions, deuterium-tritium (D-T) reaction has the highest cross-section, making it the most feasible for achieving sustained fusion under current technological constraints. This ...

Of course, nobody will operate a fusion power plant until sometime in the next decade—probably about at the same time that we might expect some of the first small modular fission plants to be built.

An exploded view of the ITER nuclear-fusion facility. A human figure in orange is shown just below the image’s centre for scale. The tokamak is visible at the centre, with the D-shaped cross ...

The pursuit of controlled nuclear fusion as a source of clean, abundant energy is moving closer to realization, thanks to advancements in inertial confinement fusion (ICF). This method involves ...

The iSpace-Magna Petra agreement to start returning that isotope to Earth could be a small, first step that could spark a giant leap for a fusion energy economy that could transform human civilizat… ...

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 ...
