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

Enriched Lithium is a critical ingredient in fusion reactors. Making it is a toxic nightmare, but scientists may have found a ...

The reactor, called Lawson Machine 26 (LM26), is General Fusion’s latest iteration in a string of devices that have tested ...

Fusion on the other hand does not create any long-lived radioactive nuclear waste. A fusion reactor produces helium, which is an inert gas. It also produces and consumes tritium within the plant in a ...

Today’s nuclear fission reactors create radioactive waste, whereas nuclear fusion releases vast amounts of energy, with zero carbon emissions and only minimal radiation. Tokamaks and ...

Scientists from the Institute of Science Tokyo suggest that a novel alloy with high heat tolerance could help solve a foundational problem in many planned nuclear fusion reactors. A paper on this ...

SAN FRANCISCO--A start-up that a Nobel laureate co-founded plans to commercialize a nuclear fusion reactor using laser technology by around 2030. Shuji Nakamura, co-recipient of the 2014 Nobel ...

What makes nuclear fusion unusual, is that it generates more energy than the energy it takes to operate it. The largest fusion project is the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER ...

After decades of nuclear fusion power being always ... as well as being a nod to Howard Stark’s Arc reactor in the fictional Iron Man universe. An exploded diagram of an ARC reactor, showing ...
