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

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

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 ...

For the first time ever, researchers have carried out a controlled nuclear fusion reaction, producing more energy than the amount pumped into the nuclear fuel to ignite it. The advance, which was ...

Full power operations using a deuterium/tritium fuel mix will be set back by four years. Even if this new schedule is kept, however, that won't be until 2039. So, we're looking at 15 years even if ...

In NIF's approach to harnessing fusion energy, a fuel mix of deuterium and tritium (DT) undergoes implosion under reaction conditions similar to what exists in the stars. NIF refers to this ...
