South Korea’s KSTAR tokamak sustained a plasma at 100 million degrees Celsius for 102 seconds in H-mode during its most ...

France’s WEST tokamak held a fusion plasma at roughly 50 million degrees Celsius for 1,337 seconds, more than 22 minutes, ...

China's Burning Plasma Experimental Superconducting Tokamak fusion reactor aims to create five times the energy output to revolutionize global energy production. Located in Hefei, China, the "BEST" ...

The world’s largest tokamak restarts with giant coils to control plasma, bringing fusion energy a step closer to reality.

Europe and Japan have restarted integrated commissioning on JT-60SA, the world’s largest operating tokamak, as they prepare for a new round of plasma experiments expected to begin at the end of 2026 ...

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 ...

A private nuclear-fusion company has heated a plasma of hydrogen to 27 million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million degrees Celsius) in a new reactor for the first time — hotter than the core of the sun. UK ...

For the first time, a research team has demonstrated, in a metal-wall environment, a plasma regime that simultaneously achieves partial divertor detachment, an edge-localized-mode (ELM)-free ...

These experimental achievements provide new physical insights into breaking through the long-standing density limit in tokamak operation in pursuit of fusion ignition. "The findings suggest a ...

Although nuclear fusion is exceedingly easy to achieve, as evidenced by desktop fusors, the real challenges begin to pop up whenever you try to sustain a plasma for extended periods of time, never ...
