The new material could be key to finally building a successful fusion reactor.

Now, a new and compact fusion reactor in Spain—the SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak, or SMART—is further experimenting with ...

Called the SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak (SMART), this reactor is ... donut-shaped (or toroidal) monster machines to try and maintain super-hot plasmas long enough to induce fusion.

“Unlike large pure fusion reactors, compact spherical tokamaks ... and this was the first time a spherical tokamak achieved this with the toroidal wave slowing down,” he said.

The magnetic forces constantly spin the particles around their doughnut-shaped reactor chambers to prevent them from escaping the plasma. As stellarator configurations are challenging to build, most ...

However, the technology is still in its early stages. The Tokamak is one of the most common fusion reactors. It features a ...

The first module of ITER’s toroidal plasma chamber is placed ... will be the largest fusion reactor in the world.

US fusion energy developer Type One Energy has signed a cooperative agreement with the Tennessee Valley Authority to jointly develop plans for a potential fusion power plant project in the Tennessee ...

For a start, it’s fascinating to learn about the many historical fusion process, the magnetic pinch, the stelarator, and finally the basis of many modern reactors, the tokamak. He demonstrates ...

With a vessel dimension of 1.6 × 1.6 m, SMART has a 30 cm diameter solenoid wrapped around 12 toroidal field coils while eight poloidal ... “The SMART approach is a potential game changer with ...

Japan’s JT-60SA fusion reactor project announced first plasma in October of this year to denote the successful upgrades to what is now the world’s largest operational, superconducting tokamak ...
