Nuclear fusion, which operates on the same principle that powers the sun, is expected to become a sustainable energy source for the future. To achieve fusion power generation, it is essential to ...

Many tokamaks use what is called positive triangularity plasma to produce energy, but past experiments have found that the inverse of this triangularity could be more stable. A new compact tokamak ...

EAST’s accomplishment is notable since the density limit has long prevented researchers from increasing plasma density past a certain point. Higher plasma density has historically been associated with ...

There’s no perfect form of energy. Coal and natural gas emit carbon dioxide. Solar and wind are intermittent. Nuclear is costly and creates radioactive waste. Geothermal and hydro are ...

The achievement shows kinetic energy from charged exhaust particles can be converted into useful electricity, but it's still not a working commercial reactor.

Sweden’s Green14 is sampling material from its pilot reactor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. The pilot has a 100 kW plasma capacity with 5 kg/h of silicon. Green14, a Sweden-based startup ...

Low-temperature plasma-assisted catalysis has emerged as a promising approach for activating chemically stable molecules under non-equilibrium conditions.
