Physicists have used high-resolution computer simulations to investigate the practicality of the CHI start-up technique. The simulations show that CHI could produce the current continuously in larger, ...

For fusion reactions to take place efficiently, the atomic nuclei that fuse together in plasma must be kept sufficiently hot. But turbulence in the plasma that flows in facilities called tokamaks can ...

Integrating machine learning with real-time adaptive control produces high-performance plasmas without edge instabilities, a key for future fusion reactors The machine learning-integrated adaptive ...

A new mechanism that could reduce plasma turbulence in stellarators has been identified in computer simulations done by researchers in the US and Germany. A similar effect has already been predicted ...

The "Impact Plasmas and Cosmic Dust Studies" Group is working on a number of projects based on measurement and assessment of turbulence and cross-field transport in magnetically confined plasmas. This ...

The next generation of fusion experiments will require major advances in plasma heating and improvements in the methods used to keep components cool Fusion for the future For the last 200 years the ...

EVERETT, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In the race to develop fusion energy, each unique approach requires its own specialized techniques to determine net energy gain, an equation balancing energy in and ...
