Two Los Alamos Laboratory scientists discovered Arthur Ruhlig’s major contributions to fusion physics, and they did so ...

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 ...

However, “when high-dose neutrons produced by deuterium–tritium (D–T) fusion reactions are irradiated on a thyristor device for a long time, the electrical characteristics of the device ...

In DT fusion, the majority of the energy is carried away by neutrons for electricity production, ... the neutron spectrum data deviated significantly from hydrodynamic predictions, ...

Hartouni and colleagues collected isotropic neutron data using five time-of-flight spectrometers positioned at different points around the fusion target. After plotting the results, they were able to ...

In particular, deuterium-tritium fusion makes an intense flux of high-energy neutrons, which collide with the nuclei of atoms in the metal walls and cladding, causing tiny spots of melting.

Wisconsin-headquartered SHINE Technologies has reported clearly visible Cherenkov radiation resulting from deuterium-tritium fusion. ... spectrum. “Fusion has long ... neutron imaging, with the ...

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 ...
