Robot arms dismantle record-setting fusion reactor, reveal plasma’s impact on materials
The massive, donut-shaped machine, which is also the largest and most powerful tokamak experiment, made headlines when it achieved 69 megajoules (MJ) of energy during a six-second pulse during its ...
In February, France's WEST nuclear fusion reactor made a big step toward getting clean, star-like energy for everyone. The machine held superheated plasma for 1,337 seconds, or just over 22 minutes.
A stellarator is still a donut shape, but extended and twisted, with different pros and cons.
A student’s small bedroom has become a hotspot for nuclear fusion experiments. With no fancy lab or deep-pocketed sponsors, the work is entirely driven by curiosity and grit. Hudhayfa Nazoordeen, a ...
The Thunderbird Reactor is small enough to fit on a lab bench, making it possible for universities and small labs to join the race. “We hope this work helps bring fusion science out of the giant ...
China has unveiled a high-precision robot for fusion reactor maintenance, advancing technology for future domestic and ...
