The new material could be key to finally building a successful fusion reactor.

With a vessel dimension of 1.6 × 1.6 m, SMART has a 30 cm diameter solenoid wrapped around 12 toroidal field coils while eight poloidal field coils are used to shape the plasma. Triangularity refers ...

It is the first tokamak to contain a deuterium plasma using superconducting niobium-titanium toroidal and poloidal magnets. EAST has recently undergone several upgrades, notably with new plasma ...

A new compact tokamak designed to contain negative triangularity ... while others use donut-shaped (or toroidal) monster machines to try and maintain super-hot plasmas long enough to induce ...

“The upgraded Globus-M2 shows a more reliable LHCD, and this was the first time a spherical tokamak achieved this with the toroidal wave slowing down,” he said. Compared with the Globus ...

Japan’s JT-60SA fusion reactor project announced first plasma in October of this year to denote the successful upgrades to what is now the world’s largest operational, superconducting tokamak ...

How a tokamak works: The electric field induced by a transformer ... The other magnetic field going around the length of the doughnut is referred to as toroidal (green horizontal circle). The ...

On January 20, Chinese scientists reported that they were able to maintain a plasma at a temperature of 100 million degrees C for about 1,066 seconds in a nuclear fusion reactor called the ...
