China is racing forward in its effort to pave the way in fusion energy science, and state-sponsored media reported earlier this week that one of the country’s next-gen reactors is now under ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: The plasma density barrier is a mathematical limit to the density of plasma that can exist in a tokamak before destabilizing. A new study led by a ...

Experiments show fusion plasma can stay stable at higher densities by controlling reactor walls, challenging long-standing limits.

A research team led by Prof. Huang Qunying from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the Shenyang National Laboratory for Materials Science has ...

“Hefei is leading the way in China in terms of the depth and breadth of its nuclear fusion industrial chain layout,” said Xu Qiang, chief analyst at Guotai Haitong Securities. "We have been coming to ...

The machines at their center, called tokamaks, have evolved from experimental curiosities into instruments capable of sustaining confined plasma – matter so hot it mimics the ...

All of these new developments don’t mean that the sun is ready to give up its fusion monopoly, as many significant ...
