Getting a significant energy return from tokamak-based nuclear fusion reactors depends for a large part on plasma density, ...

The governments of the United States and the United Kingdom have joined hands with Tokamak Energy to advance the nuclear fusion science and technology needed for a future pilot plant. The new ...

China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak, better known as the country’s “artificial sun,” has just done ...

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 ...

A research group has achieved a new plasma confinement regime using small 3D magnetic perturbations that simultaneously ...

But on January 1, researchers working on China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) — often dubbed the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

First tokamak plasma at the SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak – SMART – recorded with a fast-framing camera in the visible spectral range. In a pioneering approach to achieve fusion energy, the SMART device ...
