Researchers working with China’s "artificial sun," have discovered a method to push past a long-standing physical limit in ...

A nuclear fusion experiment at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has set a record for the strongest steady magnetic field confining a plasma, ushering in new hope that forthcoming demonstration ...

At the heart of nuclear fusion research is the tokamak, a sophisticated device designed to confine hot plasma using magnetic fields. The tokamak's toroidal shape acts as a "magnetic racetrack," ...

Superconducting magnets discovered by MIT scientists in 2021 are finally ready for fusion reactors, some scientists say. The new type of magnet was developed by researchers at the Plasma Science and ...

For seventy years, one stubborn physics problem has stood between fusion’s promise and practical reactors. That puzzle, how to keep violent runaway electrons from shredding the inside of a tokamak, ...
