JT-60SA – The future of fusion energy JT-60SA is the world’s largest operational superconducting tokamak, a type of nuclear fusion reactor that uses large magnetic fields to keep plasma in a doughnut ...

In a pioneering approach to achieve fusion energy, the SMART device has successfully generated its first tokamak plasma. This step brings the international fusion community closer to achieving ...

China's "artificial sun"—formally known as the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), and based in Hefei—maintained steady-state, high-confinement plasma operation for 17 ...

Hot stuff The first plasma at the SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak. (Courtesy: University of Seville) A novel fusion device based at the University of Seville in Spain has achieved its first plasma. The ...

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 ...

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 ...
