Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory plans to launch a new AI project, called STELLAR-AI, to lower costs and heighten efficiency for experiments. The program is anticipated to launch in 2027, and is ...

Scientists have long seen a puzzling pattern in tokamaks, the doughnut-shaped machines that could one day reliably generate electricity from fusing atoms. When plasma particles escape the core of the ...

Russian researchers have proposed using boron-coated tungsten to protect fusion reactor walls during operation.

New simulations from Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory suggest that deliberately engineering plasma rotation inside tokamak fusion reactors could dramatically reduce the heat loads that destroy ...

A parametric study reveals more sustainable etch dynamics, chromium mask selectivity, and pathways toward zero-global-warming ...

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory have set a new fusion record on the WEST tokamak, sustaining plasma at roughly 50 million degrees Celsius for six ...

Scientists saw a quark plowing through primordial plasma for the first time, offering a rare look at the first moments after the Big Bang ...

Plasma propulsion transforms an inert propellant – often hydrogen – into plasma, a superheated mix of ions and electrons.

In late 2022, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory achieved a historic nuclear fusion breakthrough by creating a fusion reaction that produced more energy than the lasers used to create it.

Fusion energy promises a future of clean, nearly limitless power, but building reactors that can survive the extreme ...

Enceladus’s geysers power vast electromagnetic wave systems that redistribute energy throughout Saturn’s magnetosphere.

Fusion energy company Helion said its Polaris prototype has set new industry benchmarks, becoming the first privately developed fusion energy machine to demonstrate measurable deuterium-tritium fusion ...
