The company’s ambitious new Sunbird design aims to harness nuclear fusion in space, despite the fact that commercializing ...

Lithium-6 is a crucial material for nuclear fusion reactors, but isolating it is challenging – now researchers have found a ...

Neutrinos are among the most enigmatic particles in the universe. They are omnipresent yet interact extremely rarely with ...

New data establish an upper limit of 0.45 eV/c2 (equivalent to 8 x 10-37 kilograms) for the neutrino mass. KATRIN measures neutrino mass in the laboratory using a model-independent method.

Seattle's Avalanche Energy has plans for opening a first-of-its-kind facility for commercial-scale testing of fusion ...

In just the first 259 days of data collection, KATRIN, a beta-decay-based detector in Germany, has set the smallest upper ...

With the current data from the KATRIN experiment, an upper limit of 0.45 electron volt/c 2 (corresponding to 8 x 10 -37 ...

To search for an answer, the physicists behind the new research turned to radioactive decays of the unstable hydrogen isotope ...

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 ...

Scientists are inching closer to uncovering the mass of ghost particles, a mystery that has remained unsolved for decades.
