Lithium-6 is a crucial material for nuclear fusion reactors, but isolating it is challenging – now researchers have found a ...

U.K. start-up Pulsar Fusion has unveiled plans to build a fleet of reusable nuclear fusion-powered rockets, known as Sunbirds ...

Nuclear fusion is a technology with the ultimate goal of controlling naturally unstable plasma. It uses even fewer resources and less fuel than fission, which was already very concentrated ...

It's part of the same government laboratory that ensures the safety and reliability of the nation's nuclear stockpile. "Every time we do a fusion experiment on the NIF, we are actually the hottest ...

Lithium-6 is essential for producing nuclear fusion fuel, but isolating it from the much more common isotope, lithium-7, usually requires liquid mercury, which is extremely toxic. Now, researchers ...

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 ...

The findings are published in the Journal of Computational Physics. Nuclear fusion reactors, often referred to as artificial sun, rely on maintaining a high-temperature plasma environment similar ...
