The milestone was reached on February 12 at the Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA) WEST Tokamak reactor. Achieving the dream of commercial fusion power is the ...

A world record for nuclear fusion has been smashed after an 'artificial sun' reactor was able to maintain a plasma for more ...

One set of designs involves the use of a tokamak — a donut-shaped vessel where the nuclei are confined, like in a cage, and made to fuse. Inside the vessel, a deuterium gas is exposed to about ...

A new compact tokamak designed to contain negative triangularity plasma is officially online in Spain. Called the SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak (SMART), this reactor is part of the University of ...

The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) reactor in Hefei, Anhui Province has set a new record with a 1,066-second sustained fusion reaction. For 80 years, there has been a ...

Visio in Microsoft 365 is a superb tool for creating custom diagrams to illustrate concepts that are difficult to explain through text. Here’s how to use it. It’s often much easier to convey ...

France’s Commissariat à L'énergie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives on Tuesday claimed it’s topped China’s recently-established for record maintaining fusion plasma in a tokamak, and therefore ...
