China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak, better known as the country’s “artificial sun,” has just done something fusion physicists long treated as impossible. By pushing plasma to ...

Experiments show fusion plasma can stay stable at higher densities by controlling reactor walls, challenging long-standing limits.

China is racing forward in its effort to pave the way in fusion energy science, and state-sponsored media reported earlier this week that one of the country’s next-gen reactors is now under ...

Researchers working on China's fully superconducting Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) have experimentally accessed a theorized "density-free regime" for fusion plasmas, achieving ...

The race to recreate the sun’s power on Earth just hit a major milestone. Scientists operating a powerful fusion reactor, often nicknamed China’s “artificial sun,” set a world record that’s turning ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. The sun-mimicking technology known as nuclear fusion hopes to create “limitless” energy by smashing light nuclei together using ...

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 ...

Experiments at China's Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak have confirmed the existence of "a density-free region" of the tokamak, finding a method to break through the density limit and ...

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 ...

The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak achieved a remarkable scientific milestone by maintaining steady-state high-confinement plasma operation for an impressive 1,066 seconds. The ...

Commercial fusion power – electricity from facilities that will exploit the same thermonuclear fusion process that enables the sun to provide the planet with life-sustaining heat and light – may no ...
