Japan’s JT-60SA fusion reactor project announced first plasma in October of this year to denote the successful upgrades to what is now the world’s largest operational, superconducting tokamak ...

Recently, Commonwealth Fusion, which is building a demonstration tokamak in Massachussets, started construction of the ...

China’s fusion reactor has achieved a significant breakthrough by achieving dual 100 million degrees for the first time.

The WEST tokamak just broke the record for retaining hot fusion plasma, holding on to it for an unprecedented 22 minutes. WEST and other tokamaks are paving the way for ITER which, upon completion ...

US fusion start-up Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) has begun assembling the SPARC tokamak, which is intended to demonstrate net ...

These systems now rank among the best in the world, and they’ve helped set multiple records in China’s fusion research,’ ...

US private fusion company Commonwealth Fusion Systems has installed the disc-shaped stainless steel cryostat base, marking ...

“Unlike large pure fusion reactors, compact spherical tokamaks may be used to produce high-energy fast neutrons economically, which can breed fuel for traditional nuclear reactors or burn their ...

How a tokamak works: The electric field induced by a transformer drives a current (big red arrows) through the plasma column. This generates a poloidal magnetic field that bends the plasma current ...

Because the magnetic field within a tokamak plasma changes so much from its core to its edge, this dependence means that with an excitation source that emits in a very narrow-frequency band ...
