(Tokamak schematic courtesy Max Planck Institute.) Stellarators get around this by twisting the path of the plasma. The original stellarator design, invented by all-around physics-badass [Lyman ...

Spong explained how thermonuclear fusion works and how a tokamak and stellarator differ. They are the two leading magnetic confinement concepts for fusion devices. The stellarator (short for ...

There are two leading designs of experimental fusion reactor, tokamak and stellarator, which have different configurations. Vladimir Rozhansky, head of the Laboratory of Controlled Thermonuclear ...

The pursuit of energy from fusion technology has taken another step forward, with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) ...

As stellarator configurations are challenging to build ... While tokamaks are better at keeping plasmas hot, stellarators are better at keeping them stable. Despite the tokamak’s current prevalence, ...
