The governments of the United States and the United Kingdom have joined hands with Tokamak Energy to advance the nuclear fusion science and technology needed for a future pilot plant. The new ...

For decades, nuclear fusion has been described as the holy grail of clean power, a way to generate vast amounts of energy by ...

China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak, better known as the country’s “artificial sun,” has just done something fusion physicists long treated as impossible. By pushing plasma to ...

The world's largest and most advanced tokamak fusion reactor has gone online as the EU/Japanese 370-tonne JT-60SA reactor was fired up for the first time during an inauguration ceremony in Ibaraki ...

Getting a significant energy return from tokamak-based nuclear fusion reactors depends for a large part on plasma density, but increasing said density is tricky, as beyond a certain point the plasma ...

Fusion firm Tokamak Energy has released the first high-speed color images of plasma from inside a fusion energy machine, providing new visual insights into the behavior of the "captured star." This is ...

Scientists have overcome one of the "greatest uncertainties" in the operation of future fusion reactors. In order to shield the fusion plasma from impurities in the reactor walls, which greatly ...

Harnessing energy from plasma requires a precise understanding of its behavior during fusion to keep it hot, dense and stable. A new theoretical model about a plasma’s edge, which can become unstable ...

First tokamak plasma at the SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak – SMART – recorded with a fast-framing camera in the visible spectral range. In a pioneering approach to achieve fusion energy, the SMART device ...

General Atomics of the USA and Tokamak Energy of the UK have agreed to collaborate in the area of high temperature superconducting technology for fusion energy and other industry applications.
