All of these new developments don’t mean that the sun is ready to give up its fusion monopoly, as many significant ...

By exceeding a long-standing density barrier, China’s EAST fusion reactor proved that tokamaks can pack way more atoms into its plasma before destabilizing.

China's EAST reactor achieved plasma densities 1.65x beyond theoretical limits, solving fusion's 70-year puzzle and bringing ...

Engineers at the UK’s STEP (Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production) program have successfully tested ...

R esearchers have been able to experimentally enter, for the first time, a new nuclear fusion regime, with plasma density beyond the conventional limit. While theories had suggested a strategy to ...

Getting a significant energy return from tokamak-based nuclear fusion reactors depends for a large part on plasma density, but increasing said density is tricky, as beyond a certain point the ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), dubbed China's "artificial sun," has ...

NIIEFA has tested a high-temperature superconductor wire (HTSC) for the TRT tokamak, achieving record current and magnetic ...

Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time inside the sun. But to recreate the process on Earth, we must control ...

China's EAST nuclear fusion reactor has successfully kept plasma stable at extreme densities, passing a major fusion milestone and potentially bringing humanity closer to wielding near-limitless clean ...
