Road to nuclear fusion. The ST40 reactor and future reactors planned by Tokamak Energy use a compact spherical tokamak design, with an almost round vacuum chamber instead of the wider donut shape ...

In a recent experiment, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics sustained a stable plasma reaction in the ...

Clean energy from nuclear fusion may soon be commercial. But leaders around the world have done little to prepare.

A viable nuclear fusion reactor — one that spits out more energy than it consumes — could be here as soon as 2025. That's the takeaway of seven new studies, published Sept. 29 in the Journal ...

Tokamak Gets One More Step Closer to Completion, With Progress in Its Super Magnetic System The scope of nuclear fusion power ...

It will then take another 10 years, barring incident, for the reactor to reach fusion. Ultimately, ITER’s adherents say it will take in exterior energy and produce 10 times as much energy output.

Now, a new and compact fusion reactor in Spain—the SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak, or SMART—is further experimenting with negative triangularity at the Plasma Science and Fusion Technology ...

The reactors in the works from both Oxfordshire-based Tokamak Energy and Massachusetts-based Commonwealth Fusion Systems, or CFS, are tokamaks, a Russian acronym describing a toroidal chamber in ...

The most power a tokamak reactor has ever put out is 16 MW, a record achieved in 1997 by the UK’s Joint European Torus tokamak. The team behind ITER has set its sights on 500 MW.
