Scientists at the United States Idaho National Laboratory (INL) are carrying out tests for ‘fusion blanket’ technologies to ...

A new record for maintaining plasma burning inside a fusion reactor has been set in France, beating China's previous ...

Lithium isotopes, lithium-6, and lithium-7, can both be used for breed tritium, but the reaction with lithium-6 is much more ...

Today, we know that the sun, along with all other stars, is powered by a reaction called nuclear fusion. If nuclear fusion can be replicated on earth, it could provide virtually limitless clean, safe ...

A cutting-edge project to test “fusion blanket” technologies is taking shape, with the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) ...

A world record for nuclear fusion has been smashed after an ‘artificial sun’ reactor was able to maintain a plasma for more than 22 minutes. The WEST reactor, in southern France, is at the ...

They aim to kick off the collaboration with the construction of the world's largest and most advanced tritium fuel cycle ...

So it was with some fanfare that they recently announced that the sun had transitioned into Solar Cycle 25. But what exactly does that mean? Does the Sun’s changing face make much difference to ...

Physicists call the reactions "fusion" because protons that originally formed the nucleus of hydrogen atoms fuse together to make the nuclei of heavier atoms. In a star like the Sun, four atoms of ...

The diagram shows the life cycles of stars that are: about the same size as the Sun; far greater than the ... to fuse together to make helium. The fusion process releases energy, which keeps ...
