Without a lithium-coated wall ... the PPPL team intends to determine a method to sustain the fusion reaction that generates energy in a stable manner that can be supplied to the grid.

But ramping up the production of tritium, which is usually produced from lithium, will prove far more difficult. A single fusion reactor will need hundreds of grams to one kilogram (2.2 lbs.) ...

The clean energy source we’ve been pursuing for decades is advancing with 200,000 “plasma shots” at General Atomics in San ...

A US-based research team has used neutron scattering to study lithium movement in a promising solid-state battery material.

But ramping up the production of tritium, which is usually produced from lithium, will prove far more difficult. A single fusion reactor will need hundreds of grams to one kilogram (2.2 lbs.) ...

which means that fusion does not contribute to greenhouse gas emissions or global warming. Its two sources of fuel, hydrogen and lithium, are widely available in many parts of the Earth. What’s the ...

Demand for lithium increased after World War II because of its role in the production of tritium, which was used as a solid fuel in nuclear fusion weapons. Lithium was later used to lower the ...

UKAEA has taken a stride in fusion energy development with the announcement of a £200m ($244m) investment in the LIBRTI programme.

A particle accelerator in Oxfordshire is to rip up atoms to generate a crucial element for nuclear fusion, under plans ...

UKAEA to invest £200m in its Lithium Breeding Tritium Innovation (LIBRTI) programme to advance the development of fusion fuel.
