A persistent asymmetry in fusion exhaust has challenged researchers for years. New simulations show that plasma core rotation, working together with cross-field drifts, determines where particles land ...

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 ...

There are a remarkable number of commercial fusion power startups, considering that it’s a technology that’s built a reputation for being perpetually beyond the horizon. Many of them focus on ...

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 ...

New simulations from Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory suggest that deliberately engineering plasma rotation inside tokamak fusion reactors could dramatically reduce the heat loads that destroy ...

Fusion firm Tokamak Energy has released the first high-speed color images of plasma from inside a fusion energy machine, providing new visual insights into the behavior of the "captured star." This is ...

Harnessing energy from plasma requires a precise understanding of its behavior during fusion to keep it hot, dense and stable. A new theoretical model about a plasma’s edge, which can become unstable ...

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 ...

WASHINGTON, DC - DECEMBER 13: U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm (C) is joined by (L-R) Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories Director Dr. Kim Budil, National Nuclear Security Administration ...
