The new material could be key to finally building a successful fusion reactor.

China’s EAST reactor has achieved a new milestone by sustaining plasma at 100 million degrees Celsius for 1,066 seconds. This ...

Greg Piefer is a UW-Madison College of Engineering product who is bullish about fusion uses today while urging patience over ...

Fusion technology is a long way from powering a grid — if it ever will. Dozens of fusion startups have launched anyway.

They showed that replacing hydrogen with deuterium, which has a nuclear magnetic moment about three times smaller, reduces this type of relaxation. Despite work by several groups over the years ...

Isotopes are forms of an element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. There are three isotopes of hydrogen: hydrogen, deuterium (hydrogen-2) and tritium ...

Example nuclear reactions include radioactive decay, fission, the break-up of a nucleus, and fusion, the merging of nuclei. An innovative method using superconducting sensors precisely measures ...

What is a tokamak? A tokamak is an experimental machine devised to control the energy of fusion. Inside a tokamak, the wall ...
