For a long time, the Greenwald limit was accepted as a given and incorporated into fusion reactor engineering. The new work shows that precise control over how the plasma is created and interacts with ...

Chinese scientists have unveiled a superconducting linear plasma device designed to test materials for nuclear fusion reactors. The Superconducting Plasma Wall Interaction Linear Device (SWORD) boasts ...

Scientists at China’s EAST tokamak have achieved plasma densities beyond long-standing limits using plasma-wall self-organisation.

The exhaust heat generated by a fusing plasma in a commercial-scale reactor may not be as damaging to the vessel's innards as once thought, according to new research about escaping plasma particles.

Figure 1．LHD and neutral beam arrangement. The magnetic field exists in a clockwise direction. In the realm of fusion research, the control of plasma density, temperature, and heating is crucial for ...

In 2026, South Korea will achieve a historic energy milestone in plasma fusion, and the research team will break records that ...

Scientists have made discoveries about light particles known as photons that could aid the quest for fusion energy. Both literally and figuratively, light pervades the world. It banishes darkness, ...

Using the Super Proton Synchrotron, the team created beams of electron-positron pairs and passed them through a meter-long region of plasma. This setup served as a scaled laboratory version of a ...
