Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory are harnessing the power of computers to ...

The success of such experiments depends on multiple key factors, including optimized magnetic fields that could display enhanced fusion plasma confinement. Introduced by researchers at Laboratorio ...

New results published in Nuclear Fusion confirm General Fusion successfully created magnetized plasmas that achieved energy confinement times exceeding 10 milliseconds. The published energy ...

The Greenwald limit, named after physicist Martin Greenwald, defines the maximum density that a plasma can reach while remaining stable within the magnetic confinement system of a tokamak reactor.

Understanding, modelling and controlling plasma is extremely complex but researchers have made great strides over the past decades. Scientists use magnetic confinement devices to manipulate plasmas.

I'm working on applications to accelerator lattices and instabilities, advanced acceleration concepts, transport in fusion plasma confinement systems, plasma turbulence. Ariniello R, Doss CE, Lee V, ...

Lawson Machine 26 aka LM26 being assembled – here, the plasma injector is being integrated with a compression system Many other startups use a different approach called inertial confinement ...

The most advanced approach—magnetic confinement fusion—confines a plasma, a gas heated to millions of degrees Celsius, within a magnetic field. This plasma is suspended without wall contact ...

An important indicator of a fusion reactor’s performance is its ‘fusion power gain’, which is determined by the plasma’s temperature, density, and energy confinement time — a measure of how ...

The published energy confinement time results were achieved on General Fusion’s PI3 plasma injector—the world’s largest and most powerful plasma injector of its kind. Commissioned in 2017 ...
