Russia is testing a plasma engine prototype designed to slash Mars travel time to just 60 days. Developed by Rosatom’s ...

In its first moments, the infant universe was a trillion-degree-hot soup of quarks and gluons. These elementary particles ...

The exhaust heat generated by a fusing plasma in a commercial-scale reactor may not be as damaging to the vessel's innards as once thought, according to new research about escaping plasma particles.

Chinese scientists have unveiled a superconducting linear plasma device designed to test materials for nuclear fusion reactors. The Superconducting Plasma Wall Interaction Linear Device (SWORD) boasts ...

China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak has quietly rewritten one of fusion’s hardest rules, using subtle three ...

Using the Super Proton Synchrotron, the team created beams of electron-positron pairs and passed them through a meter-long region of plasma. This setup served as a scaled laboratory version of a ...

Scientists have made discoveries about light particles known as photons that could aid the quest for fusion energy. Both literally and figuratively, light pervades the world. It banishes darkness, ...

Figure 1．LHD and neutral beam arrangement. The magnetic field exists in a clockwise direction. In the realm of fusion research, the control of plasma density, temperature, and heating is crucial for ...

This still image from a new simulation shows how plasma from the pedestal region is connected through the supposedly last confinement surface into the divertor plasma region. The long and thin lobes ...
