Japan’s JT-60SA fusion reactor project announced first plasma in October of this year to denote the successful upgrades to what is now the world’s largest operational, superconducting tokamak fusion ...

All of these new developments don’t mean that the sun is ready to give up its fusion monopoly, as many significant hurdles—technical, scientific, and economic—still place our own homegrown star just ...

Ohysicists at the University of Wisconsin–Madison produced a tokamak plasma that is stable at 10 times the [old] Greenwald limit. The findings may have implications for tokamak fusion reactors, though ...

China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak, better known as the country’s “artificial sun,” has just done something fusion physicists long treated as impossible. By pushing plasma to ...
