The team, which included researchers from General Atomics who use the DIII-D tokamak fusion facility, determined that positioning a metal grate known as a Faraday screen at a slight five-degree ...
An illustration depicting a fusion reaction inside a tokamak reactor. Nuclear fusion, the powerful reaction that powers the Sun, also has the potential to provide abundant clean energy on Earth.
Nuclear fusion, the powerful reaction that powers the Sun, also has the potential to provide abundant clean energy on Earth. For instance, the amount of energy produced by burning 2,400 gallons of ...
At first, it may seem impossible to heat plasma to such extreme temperatures, but a new study from researchers at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) suggests that it can be achieved using ...
