A 1938 experiment by Arthur Ruhlig, which first observed deuterium-tritium fusion and was largely forgotten, has been rediscovered and replicated by modern scientists, confirming its findings and shedding light on the early history of nuclear fusion research.
Physicists at Los Alamos have recreated a 1938 experiment that first observed deuterium-tritium fusion, confirming its high probability and its significance for nuclear energy and defense, thus shedding new light on early fusion research and its impact on modern efforts like the National Ignition Facility.
Scientists at Los Alamos have successfully replicated a 1938 nuclear fusion experiment, confirming key hypotheses about DT fusion using modern detection methods, which could influence future energy and security technologies.
