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

Lithium phosphorus sulfur chloride (Li6PS5Cl ... the crystalline and liquid states of matter,” explained researchers in the study. The team used neutrons at ORNL’s Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) to ...

Fusion technology is a long way from powering a grid — if it ever will. Dozens of fusion startups have launched anyway.

LIBRTI focuses on driving advancements in fusion fuel and enhancing industry capacity through global collaboration.

The GBP200 million (USD244 million) LIBRTI (Lithium Breeding Tritium Innovation ... "The neutron source selected shall provide neutrons of the same energy as those emitted from a fusion machine, ...

To address this scarcity, tritium must be produced (or ‘bred’) in a lithium-containing blanket that surrounds ... “The neutron source selected shall provide neutrons of the same energy as those ...

The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) wants to construct a particle accelerator that will generate powerful neutron beams capable of breaking down atoms of lithium, turning them into tritium fuel.

Rutherford's work with Niels Bohr in the 1920s, predicting the existence of neutrons, was later confirmed ... In 1932, they bombarded lithium with protons, causing their nuclei to split and ...

After decades of study, scientists sound genuinely optimistic about the possibility of detecting primordial black holes, which might explain dark matter.
