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.

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

According to findings published in Science Advances, scientists using China's Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak ...

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

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Fusion reactors promise cheap, abundant and relatively clean energy – if we can get them to work. Now, thanks to artificial intelligence firm DeepMind, fusion researchers are one step closer to ...

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 ...

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 ...
