New fusion simulations of the inside of a tokamak reveal the ideal spot for a 'cave' with flowing liquid lithium is near the bottom by the center stack, as the evaporating metal particles should land ...

Fusion energy has the potential to be an effective clean energy source, as its reactions generate incredibly large amounts of energy. Fusion reactors aim to reproduce on Earth what happens in the core ...

Scientists have overcome one of the "greatest uncertainties" in the operation of future fusion reactors. In order to shield the fusion plasma from impurities in the reactor walls, which greatly ...

Recently, researchers have been running computer simulations to find the best place for a lithium vapor “cave” inside the fusion vessel. To achieve commercial fusion, every part of the doughnut-shaped ...
