Chinese scientists have unveiled a superconducting linear plasma device designed to test materials for nuclear fusion reactors. The Superconducting Plasma Wall Interaction Linear Device (SWORD) boasts ...

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.

An Auburn University study finds that magnetic fields can guide electrons in plasma much like traffic signals, giving ...

Scientists at China’s EAST tokamak have achieved plasma densities beyond long-standing limits using plasma-wall self-organisation.

A top global nuclear body has launched a new project to assemble, validate, and distribute data on tungsten impurity processes in fusion plasmas. International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) new ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time inside ...

A new analysis of data from the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) reveals fresh evidence that collisions of even very small nuclei with large ones might create tiny ...

3D spatial tomography estimates the 3D structure of a subject from images taken from multiple directions. On the other hand, newly developed phase-space tomography estimates the plasma phase-space ...

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

This still image from a new simulation shows how plasma from the pedestal region is connected through the supposedly last confinement surface into the divertor plasma region. The long and thin lobes ...
