Canadian startup General Fusion has been working on its unique approach to producing clean energy through nuclear fusion for ...
Researchers at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory are exploring how deuterium, a potential fusion fuel, interacts with ...
To develop a practical fusion power system, scientists need to fully understand how the plasma fuel interacts with its surroundings. The plasma is superheated, which means some of the atoms involved ...
which will study plasma that can heat itself and sustain its own fusion reactions. In a commercial fusion system, the fuel will likely be made of deuterium and tritium, which are both forms of ...
The Earth possesses virtually inexhaustible reserves of the raw materials—deuterium and tritium—essential for a fusion ...
SILICON VALLEY, CA / ACCESS Newswire / March 12, 2025 / Recently, ENN Group, a Chinese enterprise, has published 13 papers in ...
The reactor, called Lawson Machine 26 (LM26), is General Fusion’s latest iteration in a string of devices that have tested ...
On earth, we need temperatures exceeding 100 million degrees Celsius and intense pressure to make deuterium and tritium fuse, and sufficient confinement to hold the plasma and maintain the fusion ...
Plasma is created when the two fuels used in the reactor, deuterium and tritium, are heated to more than 50 million degrees Celsius. It is the ‘fourth state’ after a material goes through the ...
Additionally, researchers are investigating alternative fuel cycles, such as those based on deuterium and helium-3, to reduce reliance on tritium. Plasma instabilities remain a significant ...
