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 ...

Triangularity refers to the shape of the plasma relative to the tokamak. The cross section of the plasma in a tokamak is typically shaped like a “D”. When the straight part of the D faces the centre ...

Scientists have succeeded in maintaining an "artificial sun" here on Earth for a whopping 17 minutes and 46 seconds.

Chinese scientists sustain plasma at 100 million degrees C for 1,066 seconds in EAST, advancing nuclear fusion research.

It features a one-foot-long solenoid magnet with 12 toroidal field coils and eight poloidal field coils that help shape the plasma. Triangularity in a tokamak is the shape of the plasma in ...

The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak in Heifei, China, a testbed for the long-awaited (and now delayed) International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), successfully contained ...

The SMART tokamak - an experimental fusion device designed, built and operated by the Plasma Science and Fusion Technology Laboratory of the University of Seville, Spain - has generated its first ...

However, some tokamaks, including the DIII-D tokamak in San Diego, have now experimented with the inverse shape known as negative triangularity. “This research showed that negative triangularity ...
