"It's like a nuclear Swiss watch." Scientists use surprising tool to make progress on virtually limitless energy device: ...

Lithium-6 is a crucial material for nuclear fusion reactors, but isolating it is challenging – now researchers have found a way to do this without using toxic mercury ...

The characteristic of stars, such as our sun, is that their gravity keeps the nuclei present on them so close and hot that a fusion process is triggered ... both heavy isotopes of hydrogen. The ...

Researchers have found an environmentally safer way to extract the lithium 6 needed to create fuel for nuclear fusion reactors. The new approach doesn’t require toxic mercury, as conventional methods ...

Type One Energy has achieved a major breakthrough in fusion energy research, publishing new research for a practical fusion ...

Merced Senator Anna Caballero wants to fund fusion energy research with $100 million annually from California.

What are the effects of fusion on the environment? Fusion is among the most environmentally friendly sources of energy. There are no CO 2 or other harmful atmospheric emissions from the fusion process ...

British startup Pulsar Fusion has unveiled Sunbird, a space rocket concept designed to meet spacecraft in orbit, attach to them, and carry them to their destination at breakneck speed using nuclear ...

However, 96 per cent of hydrogen today is made directly from fossil fuels – mostly natural gas, followed by coal and then oil. This overwhelmingly uses a process known as steam reformation that ...

And the established process to obtain Li-6 was ... which is critical for nuclear fusion. Bombarding Li-6 with neutrons generates the hydrogen isotope tritium, the most common fuel for fusion.
