The current AI race has reached a bottleneck that can be relieved only by new sources of electrical generation. Read more ...

"We're now pushing to quickly optimize our system." Researchers achieve game-changing breakthrough in pursuit of next-gen ...

Two Los Alamos Laboratory scientists discovered Arthur Ruhlig’s major contributions to fusion physics, and they did so ...

The hydrogen isotope called tritium is one of the lower-energy and shorter-lived radioactive materials; NRC reports say that humans usually excrete tritium within 10 days of exposure.

Helium 3 is rare on Earth, primarily produced by the radioactive decay of tritium, but it does reside in abundance in the lunar regolith, deposited by billions of years of solar wind. The isotope ...

The Isotope Separation System will form part of UKAEA's Hydrogen-3 Advanced Technology (H3AT) facility, a world-first tritium fuel cycle research facility to include a prototype-scale process plant ...

Tritium is rare in nature, so managing tritium efficiently is crucial to fusion energy's commercial viability. The first project under this collaboration will involve samples of candidate materials ...

Colorless and odorless, tritium can be both naturally occurring and man-made. A radioactive hydrogen isotope, the gas is typically considered low risk when at low levels, according to an EPA fact ...

It has been known for almost 15 years that porous metal-organic frameworks can, in principle, be used to purify and separate hydrogen isotopes.

These are the three forms in which hydrogen occurs in nature -- as protium, deuterium or tritium. The team has taken a big step towards realizing its dream of separating hydrogen isotopes at room ...

How do you turn nuclear waste into a $30,000-per-gram commodity? Tritium, once discarded as a by-product of Canadian nuclear reactors, is now one of the most expensive materials on Earth. This rare ...

But few know anything at all about tritium — a radioactive isotope of hydrogen that is used to make watch dials and EXIT signs glow bright neon.
