Chinese nuclear fusion reactor pushes plasma past crucial limit: what happens next
Breaking the plasma density limit brings researchers a step closer to viable fusion reactors. Breaking the plasma density limit brings researchers a step closer to viable fusion reactors.
New step forward for controlled nuclear fusion thanks to the Chinese experimental reactor East (Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak), often called the artificial sun. A recent experiment has shown that plasma can remain stable even at extremely high density, provided that the interaction with the metal walls of the reactor is adjusted accurately. The result, published in the journal Science Advances, eliminates one of the most importan…
Reproducing on Earth the reactions that feed the Sun to create an abundant and clean energy source is a long-standing goal. This quest for nuclear fusion comes together...
