For a long time, the Greenwald limit was accepted as a given and incorporated into fusion reactor engineering. The new work shows that precise control over how the plasma is created and interacts with ...

At 4 a.m., while most of New Jersey slept, a Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) physicist sat at his computer ...

In 2026, South Korea will achieve a historic energy milestone in plasma fusion, and the research team will break records that ...

China’s latest advance in magnetic confinement fusion has pushed a key performance limit past what theory once allowed, ...

The generation of fusion energy utilizes the fusion reaction that occurs inside a high-temperature plasma. In order to achieve the generation of fusion energy, we confine plasma in the magnetic field ...

Physicists are learning to carve laser beams into intricate shapes that can grab hold of electrons and push them with a ...

In fusion power generation, it is essential that the high-energy particles generated by a fusion reaction in hot plasma heat it to sustain further fusion reactions. The key to this self-heating of the ...

China's artificial sun breaks density limit that caused fusion experiments to fail, moving closer to clean energy.

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.

How does a star affect the makeup of its planets? And what does this mean for the habitability of distant worlds? Carnegie's ...

By tracing solar flare gamma rays, scientists gain new insight into particle behavior that shapes space weather forecasts.

Physicists have found evidence of X particles in the quark-gluon plasma produced in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, based near Geneva, ...
