Nuclear fusion, which operates on the same principle that powers the sun, is expected to become a sustainable energy source for the future. To achieve fusion power generation, it is essential to ...

In a pioneering approach to achieve fusion energy, the SMART device has successfully generated its first tokamak plasma. This step brings the international fusion community closer to achieving ...

A national research program strategy on the use of liquid metals in fusion systems was discussed on Jan. 22 at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL). The ...

Researchers at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory found a way to make plasma heating more efficient for fusion. By slightly angling a Faraday screen near the plasma antenna, they stopped unwanted ...

Nuclear fusion remains one of the most promising solutions for clean and sustainable energy production. However, significant challenges—including energy losses, plasma instabilities, and high ...

Fusion energy may be one of the most promising clean power sources of the future—but only if scientists can precisely measure the extreme, fast-moving plasmas that make it possible. A new U.S.

Theoretical and simulation estimates of turbulent transport (high-dimensional data that depend on plasma conditions such as density, temperature, and magnetic field) are used as low-fidelity data, and ...

Living up to its name, University of Washington spin-off company ZAP Energy's Century system is developing fusion power technology by blasting plasma with super-lightning-like pulses 12 times per ...
