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 ...

The plasma edge stability in a tokamak plays a fundamental role in plasma confinement. In present-day tokamaks, edge instabilities, magnetohydrodynamic waves known as ELMs (edge localized modes ...

Japan’s JT-60SA fusion reactor project announced first plasma in October of this year to denote the successful upgrades to what is now the world’s largest operational, superconducting tokamak ...
