How a tokamak works: The electric field induced by a transformer drives a current (big red arrows) through the plasma column. This generates a poloidal magnetic field that bends the plasma current ...

On January 20, Chinese scientists reported that they were able to maintain a plasma at a temperature of 100 million degrees C for about 1,066 seconds in a nuclear fusion reactor called the ...

Tokamak Energy, a UK-based private fusion energy ... through the cyclotron resonance of electrons within a strong magnetic field. “A beam of electrons travels through a strong magnetic field ...

In the Sun’s core, matter is more than 10 times denser ... which are high-temperature superconductors that can generate very high magnetic fields, are an attractive alternative. (Courtesy: Tokamak ...

The plasma is confined by magnetic fields in a doughnut ... described the seven-year-old company’s ST40 spherical tokamak as “an apple without a core”. ST40 has a diameter of only 0.8m ...

1,337 seconds: that was how long WEST, a tokamak run from the CEA Cadarache ... the most advanced is magnetic confinement fusion, where plasma is held in a torus by an intense magnetic field ...

Plasma instability can be caused by magnetic fields, temperature, and any other conditions that cause turbulence among particles. For optimal plasma control, a tokamak should not malfunction from ...

The group's core value is the importance of the synergy between good theory and good computing. The group's research is primarily in magnetic fusion tokamak turbulence and transport, but includes ...

At the same time, a large international group is busily constructing the massive ITER tokamak test reactor in ... is built around the premise of a core vacuum vessel in which the fusion reactions ...
