A team of Chinese and American scientists has learned how to maintain high fusion performance under steady conditions by exploiting a characteristic of the plasma itself: the plasma self-generates ...

The study of material plasma exposure experiments and plasma‐material interactions is critical for advancing fusion energy research and the development of next‐generation plasma facing components.

The Korea Institute of Fusion Energy (KFE) has begun its 2024 plasma experiments, aiming to secure advanced plasma operation technologies. This year’s experiments will focus on developing ...

PASADENA, Calif.–Applied physicists at the California Institute of Technology have devised a plasma experiment that shows how huge long, thin jets of material shoot out from exotic astrophysical ...

With dual lasers, researchers have accelerated a high-quality beam of electrons to 10 billion electronvolts in just 30 centimeters. The experiment gives scientists a 'frame-by-frame' look at how a ...

China’s latest advance with its so‑called artificial sun has pushed fusion plasma into a regime many physicists long treated as off limits, smashing through a density ceiling that had constrained ...
