A rare-earth barium copper oxide (REBCO) is now being used by an Oxfordshire-based company for its superconducting properties ...

Now, a new and compact fusion reactor in Spain—the SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak, or SMART—is further experimenting with ...

UK Fusion firm Tokamak Energy has announced plans to upgrade its ST40 experimental fusion reactor with a gyrotron ...

Hefei’s scientists managed to run the experiment for nearly 18 minutes (1,066 seconds), which is an enormous jump from the previous record of 403 seconds (nearly 7 minutes).

Scientists have succeeded in maintaining an "artificial sun" here on Earth for a whopping 17 minutes and 46 seconds.

is a spherical tokamak that can operate with a “negative triangularity” – the first spherical tokamak specifically designed to do so. Work performed on the machine could be useful when designing ...

The technology could help produce more resistant materials and allow scientists more control over fusion reactions.

Since it first went online, the EAST team has made steady progress in increasing the temperature and the stability of the ...

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 ...

Image: The plasma glows brightly when the fusion reaction is taking place Until now tokamak machines have had to be enormous, expensive machines because of the size of magnets required - and the ...

Ross Morgan, director of strategic partnerships at Oxfordshire-based Tokamak Energy, said: "We’re excited to work with our partners Kyoto Fusioneering to add this important upgrade to our ...

EAST belongs to a type of fusion reactor known as a "tokamak." These are doughnut-shaped machines in which hydrogen fuel is transformed under intense pressures and temperatures into plasma—a hot ...
