The National Ignition Facility (NIF), where the work was done, was not a tokamak, but several tokamaks are hot on its tail. However, while the NIF claim was true, much of the coverage was very ...

Many tokamaks use what is called positive triangularity plasma to produce energy, but past experiments have found that the inverse of this triangularity could be more stable. A new compact tokamak ...

Scientists use magnetic confinement devices to manipulate plasmas. The most common fusion reactors of that kind are tokamaks and stellarators. Currently, these are the most promising concepts for ...
