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

China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak has quietly rewritten one of fusion’s hardest rules, using subtle three ...

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

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 ...

A research group has achieved a new plasma confinement regime using small 3D magnetic perturbations that simultaneously ...

First tokamak plasma at the SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak – SMART – recorded with a fast-framing camera in the visible spectral range. In a pioneering approach to achieve fusion energy, the SMART device ...

Ohysicists at the University of Wisconsin–Madison produced a tokamak plasma that is stable at 10 times the [old] Greenwald limit. The findings may have implications for tokamak fusion reactors, though ...

The Korea Institute of Fusion Energy has installed a new diverter in the KSTAR tokamak, allowing the artificial sun to sustain high-ion temperatures exceeding 100 million degrees Celsius for longer.

Tokamak plasma systems hold great promise in realising practical nuclear fusion, yet their full potential is constrained by the risk of disruptions – sudden, often catastrophic, losses of plasma ...

British startup Tokamak Energy is testing a new type of laser that it says is “crucial” to stabilising fusion reactions — the same atom-fusing process that powers the Sun and promises to deliver ...
