Achieving Anti-Disproportionation Performance Enhancement and Distorted Inverse-Disproportionation Reaction Correction of Zr<sub>2</sub>Fe-Based Hydrogen Isotope Storage Alloys via Element Substitution. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Undesirable phase transition behavior and anti‐disproportionation performance limit the hydrogen isotope storage of Zr2Fe alloy. With theoretical screening and experiments, partial Cu/Ni substitutions achieve full reversibility and significantly improve anti‐disproportionation properties.

High Radiation Resistance in the Binary W-Ta System Through Small V Additions: A New Paradigm for Nuclear Fusion Materials. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Refractory high‐entropy alloys exhibit superior radiation tolerance, but face fabrication challenges due to complex compositions. It is demonstrated that reducing the number of alloying elements does not compromise radiation resistance in a novel W‐Ta‐V highly‐concentrated refractory alloy.

Important problems of future thermonuclear reactors*
Nukleonika, 2015 This paper concerns important and difficult problems connected with a design and construction of thermonuclear reactors, which have to use nuclear fusion reactions of heavy isotopes of hydrogen, i.e., deuterium (D) and tritium (T).
