Future fusion reactors have a conundrum: how to maintain a plasma core that is hotter than the surface of the sun without melting the device walls. Researchers call this challenge “core-edge ...
Producing energy and heat using plasma fusion is one of the promising technologies for the transition to sustainable energy sources. One of the challenges is managing the temperatures in the plasma ...
Scientists at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory have identified a long-standing asymmetry in how fusion plasma distributes heat and particles inside tokamak reactors, tracing the cause to the ...
Results shown in this article were published in a scientific journal of the Nature publishing group, Scientific Reports. In order to achieve nuclear fusion power generation, it is necessary to confine ...
Imagine trying to trap a miniature star inside a machine without letting it touch the walls or burn itself out. This is the ...
