Negative triangularity is changing fusion energy! The SMART tokamak's new plasma shape could lead to compact, efficient ...

Tokamak Energy, a UK-based nuclear fusion startup, has secured $125 million in funding to further develop its distinctive egg-shaped reactor design. The investment has come at a time when the ...

Much of the work in fusion energy has happened in the tokamak design of fusion reactors. Still, Proxima’s approach is slightly different since it uses stellarators. Tokamaks and stellarators use ...

The Globus-M2 spherical tokamak that Bakharev his team are working on may be an important first step towards this goal. Tokamaks confine plasma – a hot, ionized gas – using magnetic fields ...

The largest fusion project is the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) in France, a collaboration of 35 countries that is building a nuclear reactor using the Tokamak design.

First designed in the 1970s as Japan’s Breakeven Plasma Test Facility, the JT-60SA tokamak-based fusion reactor is the latest upgrade to the original JT-60 design, following two earlier upgrades ...
