Researchers working on China's fully superconducting Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) have experimentally accessed a theorized "density-free regime" for fusion plasmas, achieving ...
An educational outreach site maintained by the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory in the US, IPPEX features several interactive, game-like tools (applets) for exploring the physics of fusion, the ...
A new model for ballooning instabilities in apple-shaped fusion vessels considers the height and width of the plasma's edge. Harnessing energy from plasma requires a precise understanding of its ...
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), the private company Tokamak Energy and Kyushu University in Japan have proposed a design for a compact, ...
The latest experiment tested the Chinese tokamak's capability to endure extreme temperatures over longer periods, sustaining a temperature 2.6 times hotter than the Sun's core for some 1,056 seconds, ...
Startorus Fusion, a Chinese startup that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance fusion performance, ...
First plasma: the ST40 is a compact tokamak. (Courtesy: Tokamak Energy) The UK-based company Tokamak Energy has created the first plasma in its ST40 tokamak reactor. The firm will now complete the ...
3D visualization of an ELM in the ASDEX Upgrade tokamk as simulated with the MEGA code. The tokamak volue is colored according to the ELM structure. TheELM interacts with the energetic particle whose ...
Plasma physics is the study of charged particles and fluids interacting with self-consistent electric and magnetic fields. It is a basic research discipline that has many different areas of ...
