Startup company Tokamak Energy has published three papers showing size is not an important factor in fusion reactors and proving that a compact spherical tokamak reactor can produce high power. This ...

Experimental and theoretical research has shown 'spherical' tokamaks to be a "fast route to fusion" compared with more "conventional" tokamak devices such as Joint European Torus, according to David ...

A renovated, second-generation fusion reactor in England has achieved first plasma. This reactor and other fusion reactors have long-shot plans to produce energy as early as 2040. The new reactor ...

An ion temperature exceeding 100 million degrees has been achieved with the experimental fusion device ' ST40 ', which adopts a method called 'tokamak type' and is characterized by its small size and ...

The UK Atomic Energy Authority and Tokamak Energy have signed a five-year framework agreement for closer collaboration "on developing spherical tokamaks as a route to commercial fusion energy". The ...
