Searching for exotic scalars at fusion reactors

Journal of High Energy Physics
Part of the energy created in deuterium-tritium fusion reactors is carried away from plasma by a high-intensity neutron flux, which is then absorbed by the reactor’s inner walls.

Tritium production in breeding blankets

, 2013
This chapter describes the equipment referred to as breeding blankets that will be used in the next fusion reactors. The mechanisms occurring in such components are addressed, including simplified diagrams to illustrate their functioning.

Preoperative circulating tumor cells integrated with imaging analysis for prognostic evaluation in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Detecting circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood before surgery may help predict outcomes in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Here, we show when combined with tumor size and lymph node involvement from routine imaging, CTC status identifies high‐risk patients with poorer survival—offering a simple, minimally invasive tool ...

Progress in EU Breeding Blanket design and integration

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2018
In Europe (EU), in the frame of the EUROfusion consortium activities, four Breeding Blanket (BB) concepts are being developed with the aim of fulfilling the performances required by a near-term fusion power demonstration plant (DEMO) in terms of tritium self-sufficiency and electricity production.

Tritium Extraction from Liquid Blankets of Fusion Reactors via Membrane Gas–Liquid Contactors

Journal of Nuclear Engineering
The exploitation of fusion energy in tokamak reactors relies on efficient and reliable tritium management. The tritium needed to sustain the deuterium–tritium fusion reaction is produced in the Li-based blanket surrounding the plasma chamber, and ...

Raman‐based label‐free microscopic analysis of the pancreas in living zebrafish larvae

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Forward stimulated Raman scattering (F‐SRS) and epi coherent anti‐Stokes Raman scattering (E‐CARS) allow label‐free discrimination of distinct subcellular structures in the pancreas of living zebrafish larvae. Given the straightforward applicability, we anticipate broad implementation of Raman microscopy in other organs and across various biomedical ...

Numerical Investigation and Analytical Modeling of MHD Pressure Drop in Lead–Lithium Flows Within Rectangular Ducts Under Variable Magnetic Field for Nuclear Fusion Reactors

Journal of Nuclear Engineering
The breeding blanket is a key component of tokamaks, primarily responsible for extracting heat from fusion reactions and for tritium breeding, which is essential to ensure a fusion reactor’s fuel self-sufficiency.

Screening and epitope characterization of Nidogen‐2‐specific nanobodies

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Camel immunization and phage display were employed to generate high‐affinity VHH nanobodies against Nidogen‐2. After library construction, biopanning, ELISA screening, sequencing, and recombinant expression, selected nanobodies were purified and characterized, leading to the preliminary exploration of a nanobody‐based sandwich ELISA for specific ...

Tritium technologies for pbli based breeding blankets

, 2013
A lead-lithium based breeding blanket for DEMO and its corresponding Test Blanket Module (TBM) to be tested in ITER is being developed in EU. The same approach is pursued in other countries involved in the development of fusion nuclear technologies.
