Researchers have found an environmentally safer way to extract the lithium 6 needed to create fuel for nuclear fusion ...

Nuclear fusion reactors, if and when they become practical, will need a steady supply of fuel. The source of that fuel is the ...

Lithium-6 is essential for producing nuclear fusion fuel, but isolating it from the much more common isotope, lithium-7, usually requires liquid mercury, which is extremely toxic. Now, researchers ...

Researchers may have found a way to create a nuclear waste battery that could theoretically run for decades without needing ...

Enriched Lithium is a critical ingredient in fusion reactors. Making it is a toxic nightmare, but scientists may have found a ...

Does Fusion produce radioactive nuclear waste the same way fission does? Nuclear fission power plants have the disadvantage of generating unstable nuclei; some of these are radioactive for millions of ...

After more than three decades and over £13 billion spent, this nuclear megaproject is no closer to completion than it was in ...

Scientists are conducting experiments to generate clean energy through fusion, the same sub-atomic reaction that powers our Sun, with the aim of constructing plants that produce more energy than they ...

Nuclear power has long been a reliable energy source, supplying nearly 20% of electricity in the United States. While it does ...

Nuclear fusion has been heralded as the “holy grail of clean energy” for its ability to produce energy without requiring any fossil fuels, or leaving behind hazardous waste. In order to ...

Lithium-6 is essential for producing nuclear fusion fuel, but isolating it from the much more common isotope, lithium-7, ...
