Researchers working on China's fully superconducting Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) have experimentally ...

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 ...

China’s flagship fusion experiment has pushed its superheated fuel into a regime that many physicists once dismissed as ...

A new kind of plasma accelerator has cleared a hurdle that has dogged the field for decades, lifting electron energy and beam ...

Researchers using China’s “artificial sun” fusion reactor have broken through a long-standing density barrier in fusion ...

Researchers from the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the University of California, Los ...

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 ...

Researchers have identified a method to surpass the plasma density limit in experiments with the Experimental Advanced ...

The study of material plasma exposure experiments and plasma‐material interactions is critical for advancing fusion energy research and the development of next‐generation plasma facing components.

The European Space Agency (ESA) recently celebrated 20 years of ESA astronauts living and working on the International Space Station. Since the ESA arrived on the ISS 20 years ago, it has been running ...

A team of Chinese and American scientists has learned how to maintain high fusion performance under steady conditions by exploiting a characteristic of the plasma itself: the plasma self-generates ...
