Credit Figure adapted from J. Dominguez-Palacios et al., Nat. Phys. (2024) High-confinement mode is the ITER tokamak’s most efficient and promising operating state. However, periodic disturbances at ...

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 ...

The plasma inside the vacuum vessel is monitored in real-time by a vast array of magnetic sensors, thermocouples and accelerometers. Data, vital for machine operation, is transmitted by cables of the ...

The most promising fusion reactor design is based on the tokamak concept which uses magnetic fields to confine the plasma. Achieving high confinement is key to the development of nuclear fusion power ...

This system will soon be installed on the EAST Tokamak, where it will contribute to high-density and high-confinement plasma experiments, according to the team.

An all-in-one multi-party computation for setups of Groth16 and Tokamak SNARK.

Plasmas are also used in thrusters to propel space probes. Spong said he was interviewed on Live Science after publishing a paper in Physical Review Letters on Whistler waves in a tokamak plasma.
