Nuclear fusion, which operates on the same principle that powers the sun, is expected to become a sustainable energy source ...

For decades, scientists have been working to develop reactors that can achieve fusion to meet the increasing need for clean and limitless energy. The success of such experiments depends on multiple ...

Magnetic confinement fusion represents a promising avenue for realising sustainable and high‐yield energy production. In these systems, plasma – a highly ionised state of matter – is contained within ...

Fusion plasma research centres on realising controlled thermonuclear reactions, with effective diagnostics playing an indispensable role in understanding plasma conditions and fast ion behaviour. Fast ...

British startup Tokamak Energy is testing a new type of laser that it says is “crucial” to stabilising fusion reactions — the same atom-fusing process that powers the Sun and promises to deliver ...

Accurate and fast calculation of heat flow (heat transport) due to fluctuations and turbulence in plasmas is an important issue in elucidatingthe physical mechanisms and in predicting and controlling ...

Building upon recent findings showing the promise of coating the inner surface of the vessel containing a fusion plasma in liquid lithium, researchers have determined the maximum density of uncharged ...

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Westinghouse Electric Company and ITER signed a contract for $180 million for the assembly of the vacuum vessel for the fusion reactor. This is a key ...

Fusion energy is being developed as a solution to global energy problems. In particular, the magnetic confinement method, in which ultra-high temperature plasma is confined by a magnetic field, is the ...

For the prospect of limitless, clean energy produced through nuclear fusion to become a reality, scientists need the reactions at the heart of the technology to become self-sustaining, and newly ...

Combining ECCD and RMP provides greater flexibility and control over fusion plasma. The technique allows for precise adjustment of magnetic islands in the plasma, optimizing edge stability. This ...
