Tungsten's superior performance in extreme environments makes it a leading candidate for plasma-facing components (PFCs) in fusion reactors, but the ultra-high heat can damage its microscopic ...
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.
New simulations from Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory suggest that deliberately engineering plasma rotation inside tokamak fusion reactors could dramatically reduce the heat loads that destroy ...
The United States is preparing to subject fusion reactor materials to a brutal new benchmark: a focused 10 megawatt heat blast that rivals the surface of the sun. At Oak Ridge National Laboratory, ...
Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) is developing a tokamak device called SPARC. The company aims to demonstrate the critical fusion energy milestone of producing more output power than input power for ...
The results, submitted for peer review and publicly available, demonstrate significant progress toward key 1 keV electron temperature ...
Operating a new device named the Fusion Z-pinch Experiment 3, or FuZE-3, Zap Energy has now achieved plasmas with electron pressures as high as 830 megapascals (MPa), or 1.6 gigapascals (GPa) total, ...
