Today, many fusion reactors rely on deuterium and tritium—heavy isotopes of hydrogen—to power fusion reactions. But where did this idea come from? Although the Manhattan Project makes mention of the ...

Fusion energy is that released when two light nuclei combine to form a single heavier one (nuclear fusion reaction). Fusion energy-based power generation (fusion power plant) uses the energy generated ...

Tritium is ridiculously rare, incredibly expensive, and central to most fusion energy reactor designs. If research out of Los Alamos National Lab proves to hold true, it might soon become easier to ...

Plasma physicist Debbie Callahan, chief strategy officer at Focused Energy, talks to Hamish Johnston about her work in laser ...

The U.S. and China lead global efforts to make nuclear fusion commercially viable, with billion-dollar projects aiming for net-positive energy. Los Alamos scientists successfully recreated a 1938 ...

A Los Alamos collaboration has replicated an important but largely forgotten physics experiment: the first deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion observation. As described in the article published in Physical ...

Commercial fusion power – electricity from facilities that will exploit the same thermonuclear fusion process that enables the sun to provide the planet with life-sustaining heat and light – may no ...
