China’s EAST tokamak hits stable high-density plasma beyond limits
China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak has pushed fusion research into a new regime by holding a high density ...
Scientists from the U.S. and Spain are uniting to create SMART, a compact spherical tokamak testing a novel plasma shape that could transform fusion energy. Their collaboration blends advanced ...
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 ...
Type One Energy, a University of Wisconsin-Madison nuclear fusion spinoff company, is partnering with the Tennessee Valley ...
A team of French and British scientists has demonstrated a new approach to particle acceleration based on lasers and plasmas. The approach has allowed the team to accelerate electrons to energies that ...
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 ...
Twists and turns Germany’s Wendelstein 7-X stellarator will use a complex magnetic-field design to sustain a hydrogen plasma for about 30 min. (Courtesy: IPP/Wolfgang Filser) In February 2016 German ...
Physicists have created a new computer code that could speed up the design of the complicated magnets that shape the plasma in stellarators, making the systems simpler and more affordable to build.
