"Most advanced of its kind in the world." Scientists make progress on ultra-futuristic device that could generate virtually ...

The new material could be key to finally building a successful fusion reactor.

The SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak (SMART) is a spherical tokamak that can operate with a “negative triangularity” – the first spherical tokamak specifically designed to do so. Work performed on the ...

Experiment provides ‘invaluable insights’ for developing a functional nuclear fusion power plant, researchers say ...

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 ...

SMART (Small Aspect Ratio Tokamak) is unique due to its flexibility to generate plasmas with different shapes. It will be the first spherical tokamak to fully explore the potential of negative ...

SMART (Small Aspect Ratio Tokamak), the world's only fusion reactor with 'negative triangularity' constructed at the University of Sevilla in Spain, produced its first plasma. This is an important ...

A gyrotron, which uses Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating (ECRH), solves one of the key challenges for a spherical tokamak – limited space for a central solenoid, which would otherwise be required ...
