Japan’s JT-60SA fusion reactor project announced first plasma in October of this year to denote the successful upgrades to what is now the world’s largest operational, superconducting tokamak ...

As part of our Innovation campaign, we spoke to Tokamak Energy’s Dr Melanie Windridge about the company’s vision, the role of engineers in society, and what innovation means to her. Tokamak Energy is ...

The UK-based company gave first details of a high-field spherical tokamak plant "capable of generating 800 MW of fusion power and 85 MW of net electricity" as part of the USA's Bold Decadal Vision for ...

The Strugal ST25 is a 'box' awning with a built-in mechanism. The aluminum profiles that form the awning become a box that protects the fabric when folded. This system prevents wear and tear ...

Brit nuclear fusion biz Tokamak Energy has detailed early progress in a US Department of Energy (DOE) project that aims to ...

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 ...

Electron temperatures of 100 eV up to 1 keV and densities in the range 1–3 × 10 13 cm −3 have been measured by Thomson scattering on Tokamak T3. These results agree with those obtained by ...

How a tokamak works: The electric field induced by a transformer drives a current (big red arrows) through the plasma column. This generates a poloidal magnetic field that bends the plasma current ...

The plasma reactor was reassembled in Brazil and has been operating since 1999, undergoing periodic updates. “The plasma in a tokamak is subject to constant instability and this type of reactor needs ...
