A view of the assembled experimental JT-60SA tokamak nuclear fusion facility outside Tokyo, Japan. The tokamak—an acronym of the Russian-language designation of "toroidal chamber with magnetic ...

Experimental and theoretical research has shown 'spherical' tokamaks to be a "fast route to fusion" compared with more "conventional" tokamak devices such as Joint European Torus, according to David ...

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 ...

The world’s largest operating fusion tokamak is about to go quiet for several years, not because of failure, but because its ...

Over the last few decades, we’ve been reminded several different times that our conventional means of generating energy can lead to extreme consequences. As long as fallible humans are involved, the ...

Startup company Tokamak Energy has published three papers showing size is not an important factor in fusion reactors and proving that a compact spherical tokamak reactor can produce high power. This ...

Tokamak Energy has released the first images of what its commercial fusion power plant, which it says would safely generate enough electricity to power 50,000 homes in the 2030s, would look like. The ...

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 ...

WASHINGTON, DC - DECEMBER 13: U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm (C) is joined by (L-R) Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories Director Dr. Kim Budil, National Nuclear Security Administration ...

In the world of fusion physics, two letters say it all: ‘L’ and ‘H’. All the cool kids play with the H-mode, which is hot and fiery and is our best prospect for achieving useable fusion energy. The ...

Success? We were supposed to be Q>>1 in the early 1980s on TFTR and JET. It's been 35 years of fail. Click to expand... The difficulties of creating the sun in a bottle. Building a sustained fusion ...
