Thales, a leading firm in advanced technologies worldwide, has made a big leap in the field of nuclear fusion. In collaboration with researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, ...

A research team of fusion scientists succeeded in proving that ions can be heated by plasma oscillations driven by high-energy particles. This has been confirmed by performing a large-scale simulation ...

The National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (President: KOYASU Shigeo; hereinafter referred to as "QST") and ...

Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) is developing a tokamak device called SPARC. The company aims to demonstrate the critical ...

In fusion power generation, it is essential that the high-energy particles generated by a fusion reaction in hot plasma heat it to sustain further fusion reactions. The key to this self-heating of the ...

Researchers at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory found a way to make plasma heating more efficient for fusion. By slightly angling a Faraday screen near the plasma antenna, they stopped unwanted ...

Nuclear fusion reactors are highly powerful technologies that can generate energy by fusing (i.e., joining) two light atomic nuclei to form a heavier nucleus. These fusion reactions release large ...

Two heating-treating-system manufacturers will further develop a reported quick and efficient plasma heating technology by an automotive-component producer. AtmoPlas technology, developed by Dana Corp ...

Ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH) is a pivotal technique in plasma physics, especially within the domain of magnetic confinement fusion. By utilising radio frequency power in the ion cyclotron ...

Heating a plasma for fusion research requires megawatts of power. One approach that research tokamaks use to achieve the necessary power input is neutral beam injection (NBI). With NBI, fast neutral ...
