Hyderabad – September 22, 2026 -- Hyderabad-based deeptech firm Hylenr has completed Phase 1 independent validation testing of its Lattice Confinement Fusion (LCF) reactor at Texas A&M University's Nuclear Engineering Department, detecting elevated helium and argon signals two to three orders of magnitude above background levels.

Texas A&M tests reveal anomalous gas and thermal signatures in BRT-NiUCS-2 reactor

The study, titled 'Validation of Anomalous Heat and Nuclear Signatures in the BRT-NiUCS-2 Reactor: Phase 1 LCF Investigation,' examined the hydrogen-loaded nickel-palladium catalyst reactor using thermal measurement, residual gas analysis, radiation monitoring and post-reaction material characterization. Residual Gas Analysis via an SRS RGA 100 system under high-vacuum conditions found no corresponding rise in nitrogen, ruling out atmospheric leakage as the sole cause of the elevated helium, argon and neon readings.
