National laboratory researchers partner with a private company to achieve 100-million-degree temperatures inside a high magnetic field spherical tokamak. To produce commercial energy, future fusion ...
Engineers at the UK’s STEP (Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production) program have successfully tested ...
China’s latest advance with its so‑called artificial sun has pushed fusion plasma into a regime many physicists long treated as off limits, smashing through a density ceiling that had constrained ...
Scientists from the U.S. and Spain are uniting to create SMART, a compact spherical tokamak testing a novel plasma shape that could transform fusion energy. Their collaboration blends advanced ...
Experiments show fusion plasma can stay stable at higher densities by controlling reactor walls, challenging long-standing limits.
The reactor, a forerunner for the vast ITER experiment in France, has the potential to hasten the race for cleaner energy. Reading time 3 minutes The biggest experimental nuclear fusion reactor in ...
