France’s WEST tokamak held a fusion plasma for 1,337 seconds at 50 million degrees Celsius, the longest confinement on record
France’s WEST tokamak held a fusion plasma at roughly 50 million degrees Celsius for 1,337 seconds, more than 22 minutes, ...
In February, France's WEST nuclear fusion reactor made a big step toward getting clean, star-like energy for everyone. The machine held superheated plasma for 1,337 seconds, or just over 22 minutes.
New simulations from Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory suggest that deliberately engineering plasma rotation inside tokamak fusion reactors could dramatically reduce the heat loads that destroy ...
For billions of years, the sun reigned supreme as the only fusion reactor in our solar system, leveraging its immense gravitational pressure and intense heat to overcome an atomic nuclei’s natural ...
A nuclear fusion reactor in Germany has reached world record numbers for runtime. The tokamak dominates fusion research in 2025, but stellarators are making a comeback. A stellarator is still a donut ...
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 plasma ...
Researchers working on China’s ‘artificial sun’ have reported breaking a long-accepted threshold that has limited the operation of nuclear fusion reactors for decades. China’s Experimental Advanced ...
