China has been investing billions in nuclear fusion research. A potential game-changer for global energy, fusion has been ...

China’s flagship fusion experiment has pushed plasma density beyond a limit that many physicists treated as a hard ceiling, ...

Experiments at China's Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak have confirmed the existence of "a density-free region" ...

At the heart of nuclear fusion research is the tokamak, a sophisticated device designed to confine hot plasma using magnetic fields. The tokamak's toroidal shape acts as a "magnetic racetrack," ...

Researchers working with China’s "artificial sun," have discovered a method to push past a long-standing physical limit in ...

Among the top puzzles in the development of fusion energy is the best shape for the magnetic facility -- or "bottle" -- that will provide the next steps in the development of fusion reactors. Leading ...

Imagine a world where electricity can be produced virtually limitlessly without harming the environment. This is the promise of nuclear fusion technology. By harnessing the same reaction that powers ...

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 ...

A new article describes the spherical tokamak design as a model for the next steps in the development of fusion energy. Among the top puzzles in the development of fusion energy is the best shape for ...
