Scientists have replicated a forgotten but crucial experiment that took place in 1938. The first-ever triton-deuterium ...

A Los Alamos collaboration has replicated an important but largely forgotten physics experiment: the first deuterium-tritium ...

Modern re-run shows that Arthur Ruhlig’s conclusions, which probably influenced early thinking about fusion energy, were ...

Last month, the nuclear fusion company SHINE announced that Cherenkov radiation was visible during its deuterium-tritium fusion process. This was the first time that the blue-hued phenomenon was ...

Wisconsin-headquartered SHINE Technologies has reported clearly visible Cherenkov radiation resulting from deuterium-tritium fusion. In what is believed to be a historical first, SHINE ...

In December 2022, a NIF experiment crossed a critical threshold for fusion where the energy that the fusion reaction generated — 3.15 million joules — exceeded the 2.05 megajoules from the ...

Despite the recent breakthrough, commercially viable nuclear fusion is only infinitesimally closer than it was back in the 1980s when a contained fusion reaction – i.e. not occurring in the sun ...

Nuclear fusion is the merging of two light atomic nuclei into one heavier one. If it can be harnessed on Earth, it could generate clean, limitless energy.

Researchers fire a 192-beam laser at a small capsule filled with deuterium-tritium fuel. The lab reported that an August 2021 test produced 1.35 megajoules of fusion energy — about 70% of the ...
