A new method to increase fusion-fuel efficiency would involve aligning the quantum spin of deuterium and tritium and changing the mix of the two fuels. The approach could boost tritium-burn efficiency ...
A different mix of fuels with enhanced properties could overcome some of the major barriers to making fusion a more practical energy source, according to a new study. The proposed approach would still ...
Somewhere inside a doughnut-shaped reactor already running at 180 million degrees Fahrenheit, the next meaningful advance in fusion energy may come down to something invisible: the spin direction of ...
Scientists in the US have been testing spin-polarized nuclear fuel inside tokamaks operating at around 100 million degrees Celsius, to explore a more efficient path to fusion through particle ...
