France’s WEST tokamak held a fusion plasma at roughly 50 million degrees Celsius for 1,337 seconds, more than 22 minutes, ...
Inside a doughnut-shaped reactor in southern France, a cloud of electrically charged gas recently burned at tens of millions of degrees for six straight minutes, setting a new record for sustained ...
A research team has clarified the mechanism behind the generation of runaway electrons during the startup phase of a tokamak fusion reactor. The paper, "Binary Nature of Collisions Facilitates Runaway ...
Many tokamaks use what is called positive triangularity plasma to produce energy, but past experiments have found that the inverse of this triangularity could be more stable. A new compact tokamak ...
