US scientists hit record fusion plasma heat in wild leap toward commercial power
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory have set a new fusion record on the WEST tokamak, sustaining plasma at roughly 50 million degrees Celsius for six ...
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Tungsten, represented unexpectedly by the letter W on the periodic table of elements (for wolframite, an ore where tungsten is often found), is ...
Scientists in the U.K. have achieved a major breakthrough — a key step in unlocking greener, nearly limitless energy. The Times reported that researchers at the U.K. Atomic Energy Authority ...
After many years of experiments, the U.K. Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is decommissioning the world's longest-running fusion tokamak. The project housing this machine is known as the Joint European ...
A persistent asymmetry in fusion exhaust has challenged researchers for years. New simulations show that plasma core rotation, working together with cross-field drifts, determines where particles land ...
Feb. 18, 2025 — French research organization CEA reported that on 12 February, the CEA’s WEST tokamak maintained a nuclear fusion plasma for more than 22 minutes, a 25 percent improvement over the ...
The sun-mimicking technology known as nuclear fusion hopes to create “limitless” energy by smashing light nuclei together using immense heat, but containing such hot plasma is proving tricky. A ...
