Last year, researchers at the University of Seville began to prepare the tokamak’s inner walls for a high pressure plasma by heating argon gas with microwaves. When those tests were successful, ...

First tokamak plasma at the SMall Aspect Ratio ... preventing severe damage to the tokamak wall. Besides offering high fusion performance, negative triangularity also feature attractive power ...

Negative triangularity should offer enhanced performance because it can suppress instabilities that expel particles and energy from the plasma, preventing damage to the tokamak wall. First plasma in ...

First designed in the 1970s as Japan’s Breakeven Plasma Test Facility, the JT-60SA tokamak-based fusion reactor ... Along with UK’s JET, China’s HL-2M and a range of other tokamaks at ...

remotevfx/iStock / Getty Images Plus It is within this plasma that atomic nuclei are forced to combine; with the heat energy released in the process harnessed by the walls of the tokamak.

The Globus-M2 spherical tokamak that Bakharev his team are working on may be an important first step towards this goal. Tokamaks confine plasma – a hot, ionized gas – using magnetic fields ...

Scientists use laser technology and robotics to study fusion fuel retention in the JET reactor to unlock the secrets of ...

The system successfully passed its factory acceptance test recently on the first attempt. This system will soon be installed on the EAST Tokamak, where it will contribute to high-density and high ...

To initiate nuclear fusion reactions within a tokamak, high-temperature plasma must first be generated, a process known as "startup." The startup process requires a strong electric field ...

The tokamak’s carbon-made walls had been replaced with metal ones ... yet this project only represented the first step in fusion energy's implementation. JET scientifically demonstrated that fusion ...

In a pioneering approach to achieve fusion energy, the SMART device has successfully generated its first tokamak plasma ... preventing severe damage to the tokamak wall. Besides offering high ...
