France has upped the ante in the quest for fusion power by maintaining a plasma reaction for over 22 minutes – a new record.

ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) is a multinational fusion project in France aiming to prove that ...

CSA's nuclear fusion reactor, WEST, is a tokamak type reactor that uses electromagnets to generate a strong magnetic field around the plasma, confining it at a high temperature. CSA announced on ...

There are different reactor designs to achieve nuclear fusion by meeting these conditions. One set of designs involves the use of a tokamak — a donut-shaped vessel where the nuclei are confined ...

Nice number, but also not much more than a nice advance France’s Commissariat à L'énergie Atomique et aux Energies ...

A world record for nuclear fusion ... for the reactor, which is called a magnetic confinement reactor and confines plasma into a doughnut shape using a machine called a tokamak, is impressive ...

This was more than 25 percent higher than the recently set record in China: At the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) fusion reactor, plasma with a temperature of over 100 ...

The record was set at the Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA) WEST Tokamak reactor on February 12. Creating a practical fusion reactor is difficult because it ...

This hot, electrically charged gas easily becomes unstable, which can lead to lost energy and limit the efficiency of a possible future nuclear fusion reactor. The WEST tokamak machine in southern ...
