Chinese scientists sustain plasma at 100 million degrees C for 1,066 seconds in EAST, advancing nuclear fusion research.
Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear fission reactors in which either the fuel and/or the coolant is a molten salt. Molten salt is salt which liquifies at elevated temperatures and can store ...
A nuclear fusion reaction is a phenomenon in which two or more light atomic nuclei, such as hydrogen, come close to each other and fuse to form a heavier atomic nucleus, such as helium.
First up, what is heavy water? Elements are defined by the number of protons in their nucleus, with hydrogen having one, helium having two, and uranium having 92 protons, for example. The number ...
