On our first day of full functioning with the ICCD, we got our first picture of a plasmoid on shot 14. (This was a relatively small shot with a late pinch due to too much fill gas, or too little ...

For the first time, scientists have photographed a rare plasma instability, capturing high-energy electron beams forming into spaghetti-like filaments. This breakthrough, achieved by researchers at ...

A Richmond-based company has achieved significant fusion neutron yield and plasma stability. General Fusion attained world-first achievements using its uniquely practical Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF ...

Scientists pursuing magnetically-confined nuclear fusion as a clean energy source grapple with the "core-edge challenge," the need to integrate the core of the reactor, where plasma must be 10 times ...

Nuclear fusion comes in all shapes and sizes, and while donut-shaped tokamaks are the most common, many companies and universities are investigating other ways to bring star power in cheaper and more ...

Fusion reactors promise cheap, abundant and relatively clean energy – if we can get them to work. Now, thanks to artificial intelligence firm DeepMind, fusion researchers are one step closer to ...
