Researchers at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility have identified a new method to tame ...

China breaks a historic barrier in nuclear fusion, bringing the dream of nearly infinite energy closer to reality.

Scientists have long seen a puzzling pattern in tokamaks, the doughnut-shaped machines that could one day reliably generate electricity from fusing atoms. When plasma particles escape the core of the ...

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 ...

Chinese scientists break a historic barrier and achieve the highest plasma density in a nuclear fusion reactor.

While still a vision for the future, we may be one step closer to fusion energy. CGTN reported that a research team in China has developed a system for tokamak plasma that could make this dream more ...

For decades, nuclear fusion has been the “holy grail” of energy — a promise of clean, limitless power that always seems to be ...

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 ...

The stakes of the “race to fusion” are dramatic. Commercial fusion has the potential to deliver nearly unlimited energy by ...

Tokamak plasma systems hold great promise in realising practical nuclear fusion, yet their full potential is constrained by the risk of disruptions – sudden, often catastrophic, losses of plasma ...

The Korea Institute of Fusion Energy has installed a new diverter in the KSTAR tokamak, allowing the artificial sun to sustain high-ion temperatures exceeding 100 million degrees Celsius for longer.
