Now, a new and compact fusion reactor in Spain—the SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak, or SMART—is further experimenting with negative triangularity at the Plasma Science and Fusion Technology Laboratory of ...

France has upped the ante in the quest for fusion power by maintaining a plasma reaction for over 22 minutes – a new record. The milestone was reached on February 12 at the Commissariat à l'énergie ...

The record was set at the Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA) WEST Tokamak reactor on February 12. Creating a practical fusion reactor is difficult because it ...

One of those reactors is China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), located in Heifei, China, which has a habit of breaking fusion records. In 2023, the fusion reactor ...

A world record for nuclear fusion ... for the reactor, which is called a magnetic confinement reactor and confines plasma into a doughnut shape using a machine called a tokamak, is impressive ...

Once the gyrotron is in operation, the partners will be able to advance the fusion science and technology needed to deliver a future pilot plant by testing lithium on the inner wall of ST40. Dr Ross ...

The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) fusion reactor has succeeded in maintaining a plasma with a temperature of over 100 million degrees Celsius for just under 18 minutes.

This was more than 25 percent higher than the recently set record in China: At the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) fusion reactor, plasma with a temperature of over 100 ...

CSA's nuclear fusion reactor, WEST, is a tokamak type reactor that uses electromagnets to generate a strong magnetic field around the plasma, confining it at a high temperature. CSA announced on ...

This hot, electrically charged gas easily becomes unstable, which can lead to lost energy and limit the efficiency of a possible future nuclear fusion reactor. The WEST tokamak machine in southern ...
