France's WEST tokamak set a record by sustaining plasma for 1,337 seconds, surpassing China's EAST. This milestone marks ...

A tokamak is an experimental device designed to confine hot plasma using a powerful magnetic field. Its goal is to replicate the nuclear fusion reactions that occur naturally in stars, in order to ...

Discover the challenges and breakthroughs in nuclear fusion, the clean energy source of the future. Learn about the science ...

The structure will be 0.6 miles wide ... China is working on another major project called the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), or the “artificial sun,” a nuclear fusion reactor ...

Finally, an imperfect wall structure can lead to runaway instabilities ... Experiments like the Lithium Tokamak Experiment-Beta (LTX-β) at the Princeton Plasma Physics Lab suggest that ...

Abstract: During operation, the central solenoid (CS) magnet in the Tokamak underwent rapid charging and discharging ... eddy current losses in the copper layer of the REBCO tapes and the magnet ...

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 ...

Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) was used to analyze the composition of materials within JET. The technique, already used in various industries, was implemented on JET using a remotely ...

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 ...
