A research group has achieved a new plasma confinement regime using small 3D magnetic perturbations that simultaneously ...
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 ...
China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak has pushed fusion research into a new regime by holding a high density plasma stably beyond long accepted limits. The result, achieved on the EAST ...
Auburn University physics PhD student Jessica Eskew has been awarded a prestigious U.S. Department of Energy Office of ...
When it comes to fusion, one of the hurdles is containing the plasma for a long duration to induce a fusion reaction. Most of the attention has now fallen on the ambitious International Thermonuclear ...

China’s fusion reactor smashed an ‘unbreakable’ limit and rewrote physics
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 ...
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 ...
The sun-mimicking technology known as nuclear fusion hopes to create “limitless” energy by smashing light nuclei together using immense heat, but containing such hot plasma is proving tricky. A ...
Plasma physics is the study of a state of matter comprising charged particles. Plasmas are usually created by heating a gas until the electrons become detached from their parent atom or molecule. This ...
When waves are moving across ice-covered seas, they can cause sheets of ice to bend and ultimately break. Understanding the processes underlying these wave-induced ice fractures and predicting when ...
