Last year, researchers at the University of Seville began to prepare the tokamak’s inner walls for a high pressure plasma by heating argon gas with microwaves. When those tests were successful, ...

Negative triangularity should offer enhanced performance because it can suppress instabilities that expel particles and energy from the plasma, preventing damage to the tokamak wall. First plasma in ...

JSC NIIEFA and MISIS (National University of Science and Technology) are also to work together on bronze surfacing on steel for elements of the first wall of the proposed TRT tokamak reactor, "which ...

Nice number, but also not much more than a nice advance France’s Commissariat à L'énergie Atomique et aux Energies ...

Most tokamaks use positive triangularity—the plasma’s cross-section looks like the letter “D,” with the curved part of the plasma occurring along the outer wall. However, some tokamaks ...

First designed in the 1970s as Japan’s Breakeven Plasma Test Facility, the JT-60SA tokamak-based fusion reactor ... Along with UK’s JET, China’s HL-2M and a range of other tokamaks at ...

The Globus-M2 spherical tokamak that Bakharev his team are working on may be an important first step towards this goal. Tokamaks confine plasma – a hot, ionized gas – using magnetic fields ...

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 ... tokamak. The ...
