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 ...

A new method to increase fusion-fuel efficiency would involve aligning the quantum spin of deuterium and tritium and changing the mix of the two fuels. The approach could boost tritium-burn efficiency ...

After the National Ignition Facility in California's first successful scientific breakeven through nuclear fusion, mankind is all the more serious about reaching the promised land of near-limitless ...

Screenshots from a 'Neon-Seed Integrated ITER Baseline Plasma Scenarios in Deuterium-Tritium' pulse video recorded during the EUROfusion DTE3 campaign at JET, showcasing pivotal experiments at the ...

This publication provides an overview of plasma physics and technology aspects of the Deuterium-Tritium fuel cycle in magnetic fusion devices, from ITER to demonstration fusion power plants. The ...

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 ...

(1) A beam of negatively charged muons is produced and injected into a mixed fuel of deuterium and tritium, (2) resulting in the creation of many muonic tritium atoms (tµ). As muons are 207 times ...

(Nanowerk News) Deuterium, the heavy brother of hydrogen, is considered a promising material of the future – because of its wide range of applications: in science, for energy generation, or in the ...
