New research involving plasma blobs and voids within tokamaks could soon solve a longstanding mystery in nuclear fusion ...

Tokamak plasma systems hold great promise in realising practical nuclear fusion, yet their full potential is constrained by the risk of disruptions – sudden, often catastrophic, losses of plasma ...

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 ...

Abstract: The capacity of tokamak plasma is derived using a coaxial-torus capacitor property. The value of this capacitance is significant for tokamaks and dramatically high for the International ...

In January 2025, China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) did something long regarded as a daunting benchmark in fusion research: sustaining a high-confinement plasma for ...

The company raised $425 million in January 2025, around the same time that it turned on Polaris, a prototype reactor. Helion ...

Abstract: We focus on the estimation of the minimum poloidal field coil voltages for the plasma shape control in a tokamak. For given coil locations and for a class of disturbances we propose a ...

In other words, the UK's latest investment in the fusion dream is still betting on just that - a dream. We may be making ...

X, a nuclear fusion reactor in the city of Greifswald, Germany, has set a new record for a crucial metric in fusion physics.

The Facility for Laboratory Reconnection Experiments (FLARE) represents the next generation of research into fundamental ...

This value now exceeds previous tokamak records for long plasma durations. On the path toward a fusion power plant, stellarators are among the most promising concepts. In the future, they could ...
