Fusion energy may be one of the most promising clean power sources of the future—but only if scientists can precisely measure the extreme, fast-moving plasmas that make it possible. A new U.S.

To operate fusion systems safely and reliably, scientists need to monitor plasma fuel conditions and measure properties like ...

In a spacious room with towering ceilings, a gleaming device resembling a metal barrel the size of an SUV lies on its side, ready to perform some science. Known as the Facility for Laboratory ...

Aurora, one of the fastest supercomputers in the world, is now being used to ...

First tokamak plasma at the SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak – SMART – recorded with a fast-framing camera in the visible spectral range. In a pioneering approach to achieve fusion energy, the SMART device ...

In inertial confinement fusion, a capsule of fuel begins at temperatures near zero and pressures close to vacuum. When lasers compress that fuel to trigger fusion, the material heats up to millions of ...

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 ...

In the quest for sustainable and limitless energy, fusion research has made significant strides, with the recent formation of stable plasma rings in laboratory settings marking a pivotal breakthrough.
