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 ...

The experimental reactor's main goal is to create nuclear fusion like the Sun, using deuterium from the sea to provide a steady stream of clean energy.

Replicating solar energy has become the goal of scientists around the world. With the threat of global warming and the durability of human life on this planet, achieving a replica ...

When deuterium and tritium nuclei - which can be found in hydrogen - fuse, they form a helium nucleus, a neutron and a lot of energy. This is done by heating the fuel to temperatures in excess of ...

By fusing hydrogen nuclei, this process releases an immense amount of energy ... One of its main advantages in the current experimental context is its fuel: deuterium, extracted from seawater, and ...

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

Nuclear fusion is a physical reaction where two light atomic nuclei, such as those of hydrogen ... It uses hydrogen isotopes, such as deuterium and tritium, abundant in nature, and does not generate ...

Scientists there have been working on the implementation of nuclear fusion, in which nuclei of the hydrogen isotopes deuterium (D) and tritium (T) are fused, since 2006. Very high temperatures of ...
