Tokamak Energy, a UK-based nuclear fusion startup, has secured $125 million in funding to further develop its distinctive egg-shaped reactor design. The investment has come at a time when the ...

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 ...

Earlier this week, the company successfully tested the Central Solenoid Model Coil (CSMC), a crucial component of its SPARC tokamak reactor design that could one day help produce carbon-free energy.

Whether ARC, another tokamak design, or perhaps a stellarator derived from the Wendelstein project will be the first to show the way to economically viable commercial nuclear fusion is still up in ...

A new AI-driven approach to tokamak plasma control offers an improved route to commercial fusion technology. Next Step Fusion ...

The largest fusion project is the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) in France, a collaboration of 35 countries that is building a nuclear reactor using the Tokamak design.

Triangularity in a tokamak is the shape of the plasma in relation to the reactor design. The reactor's donut shape means that the plasma's cross-section is shaped like the letter 'D'. In a typical ...

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