Harnessing energy from plasma requires a precise understanding of its behavior during fusion to keep it hot, dense and stable. A new theoretical model about a plasma's edge, which can become unstable ...
China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak has quietly rewritten one of fusion’s hardest rules, using subtle three dimensional tweaks to its magnetic cage to trap plasma at densities long ...
A new model for ballooning instabilities in apple-shaped fusion vessels considers the height and width of the plasma's edge. Harnessing energy from plasma requires a precise understanding of its ...
