In a new milestone for fusion energy research, physicists in China say they have exceeded the plasma-density limit.

China’s latest advance with its so‑called artificial sun has pushed fusion plasma into a regime many physicists long treated ...

Researchers working on China's fully superconducting Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) have experimentally ...

Using the Super Proton Synchrotron, the team created beams of electron-positron pairs and passed them through a meter-long region of plasma. This setup served as a scaled laboratory version of a ...

A team of U.S. scientists has made a surprising discovery that could help bring fusion energy, a long-hoped-for clean energy source, closer to reality. In a recent experiment at the University of ...

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 ...

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.

Humanity probably isn’t on the cusp of a nuclear fusion revolution just yet. But along the way, we are getting some peeks at mind-blowing fusion experiments, so what’s the big rush? We submit this new ...

Experts at the BELLA Center used dual laser beams focused onto a sheet of gas to reach a milestone energy in laser-driven electron acceleration. Four members of the larger team gathered with the ...
