China builds portable neutron gun powered by hydrogen-lithium nuclear reaction

Jun 19, 2025 | INVESTING

Researchers from China’s northwestern military-industrial hub have achieved controlled nuclear reactions between hydrogen and lithium in a compact device for the first time.
The feat marks a significant breakthrough in neutron generation technology with implications for scientific, industrial and defence applications.
Unlike previous designs requiring massive accelerators, this powerful but portable particle gun harnesses a novel electromagnetic technique to smash hydrogen protons into lithium…
