The original Globus-M spherical tokamak facility began operation in 1999, however, the compact profile of the machine posed a significant technical challenge. There was little space to install ...

For optimal plasma control, a tokamak should not malfunction from plasma behavior, or pollute the plasma in any way. Everything in the machine that comes in contact with the plasma should also be ...

A leading concept for a nuclear fusion reactor is a machine called a tokamak, in which the plasma is confined to a doughnut-shaped region. In a tokamak, D-shaped electromagnets are arranged in a ring ...

The WEST tokamak just broke the record for retaining hot fusion plasma, holding on to it for an unprecedented 22 minutes. WEST and other tokamaks are paving the way for ITER which, upon completion ...

China has made a significant breakthrough in nuclear fusion technology, achieving record temperatures in its EAST experiment, ...

General Fusion appears to be one step closer to making Canada a major player in fusion reactors.

Another tokamak, the ETE, is located at the Brazilian National Institute for Space Research (INPE), which designed and built a spherical machine whose geometry is slightly different to the other two ...

1,337 seconds: that was how long WEST, a tokamak run from the CEA Cadarache ... Reaching durations such as these is a crucial milestone for machines like Iter, which will need to maintain fusion ...

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 ...
