Because deuterium fusion (deuterium+hydrogen=helium-3) occurs at temperatures of just 1,000,000 K, 'failed stars' that don't reach 4,000,000 K get their energy exclusively from the deuterium they ...

Right now, everyone is drooling over AI – and rightfully so. Artificial intelligence is already rewriting the rules of work, ...

That tritium, in turn, will likely fuse with deuterium and finally yield one helium-4 atom and a neutron. In short, Close says, if helium-3 is mined from the moon and brought to Earth, ...

Close suggests that a deuterium and helium-3 fusion will still produce some radioactive neutrons. Gerald Kulcinski, director of the Fusion Technology Institute at the University of Wisconsin at ...

Modern re-run shows that Arthur Ruhlig’s conclusions, which probably influenced early thinking about fusion energy, were ...

Google has agreed to purchase 200 megawatts of fusion energy from Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS). That's assuming, of ...

Thanks to new observations, both the helium and deuterium ratios are now measured, confirming the Big Bang once again. The early Universe was full of matter and radiation, ...

Fusion power plants operating on deuterium and helium-3 would offer lower capital and operating costs than their competitors due to less technical complexity, higher conversion efficiency, smaller ...

Like deuterium, it is rare relative to helium-4, but, unlike hydrogen, helium doesn't form chemical compounds as abundant as water. Almost all Earth's helium has long since blown away and only ...

They have discovered that gamma rays, produced during the deuterium-tritium nuclear reaction, can serve as a precise and alternative means of measuring the power output of new fusion reactors.
