The Thunderbird Reactor is a custom-made, bench-top-sized particle accelerator and electrochemical reactor built by an interdisciplinary team at the University of British Columbia. Using a small bench ...

A Los Alamos collaboration has replicated an important but largely forgotten physics experiment: the first deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion observation. As described in the article published in Physical ...

The US National Ignition Facility is the only laboratory where a nuclear-fusion reaction has generated more energy than it consumed. Here’s how it achieved this historic milestone and sparked fresh ...

Standing on Past Discoveries Fusion science isn’t new. The first successful deuterium-deuterium (D-D) fusion experiment dates back to 1934. Back then, scientists bombarded metal targets coated in ...
