Experimental and theoretical research has shown 'spherical' tokamaks to be a "fast route to fusion" compared with more "conventional" tokamak devices such as Joint European Torus, according to David ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. For decades, if you asked a fusion scientist to picture a fusion ...

Some believe the future of fusion in the U.S. lies in compact, spherical fusion vessels. A smaller tokamak, it is thought, could offer a more economical fusion option. The trick is squeezing ...

Researchers at a U.S. government nuclear fusion laboratory say they have found a way to downsize the huge magnets that are necessary for controlling fusion plasma in what they think is another step ...

Fusion firm Tokamak Energy has released the first high-speed color images of plasma from inside a fusion energy machine, providing new visual insights into the behavior of the "captured star." This is ...

Startorus Fusion, a Chinese startup that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance fusion performance, ...

The governments of the United States and the United Kingdom have joined hands with Tokamak Energy to advance the nuclear fusion science and technology needed for a future pilot plant. The new ...

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) funding of more than $12 million to work with laboratories around the world to accelerate the development ...

The last week of July heralded not one but two scientific breakthroughs that have left the academic community abuzz and may bring us one step closer to the holy grail of fusion energy. Nuclear fusion ...

Researchers demonstrate explanation of paradox that could apply to all spherical tokamaks, cost-effective candidates to model a fusion pilot plant. The paradox startled scientists at the U.S ...

At 4 a.m., while most of New Jersey slept, a Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) physicist sat at his computer connected to a control room 3,500 miles away in Oxford, England. Years of ...
