China’s latest experiments with its so‑called “artificial sun” have pushed nuclear fusion into territory many physicists long ...

China’s race to harness fusion energy is no longer confined to a single experimental reactor. Its so‑called “artificial sun” ...

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

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

Experiments at China's Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak have confirmed the existence of "a density-free region" ...

Experiments inside a fusion reactor in China have demonstrated a new way to circumvent one of the caps on the density of the ...

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 ...

At 4 a.m., while most of New Jersey slept, a Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) physicist sat at his computer ...

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 ...

Scientists at China’s EAST tokamak have achieved plasma densities beyond long-standing limits using plasma-wall self-organisation.

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 ...

The last week of July heralded not one but two scientific breakthroughs that have left the academic community abuzz and may bring us one step closer to the holy grail of fusion energy. Nuclear fusion ...
