Using the Super Proton Synchrotron, the team created beams of electron-positron pairs and passed them through a meter-long region of plasma. This setup served as a scaled laboratory version of a ...

For a long time, the Greenwald limit was accepted as a given and incorporated into fusion reactor engineering. The new work shows that precise control over how the plasma is created and interacts with ...

Scientists at China’s EAST tokamak have achieved plasma densities beyond long-standing limits using plasma-wall ...

At 4 a.m., while most of New Jersey slept, a Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) physicist sat at his computer ...

Chinese scientists have unveiled a superconducting linear plasma device designed to test materials for nuclear fusion reactors. The Superconducting Plasma Wall Interaction Linear Device (SWORD) boasts ...

In 2026, South Korea will achieve a historic energy milestone in plasma fusion, and the research team will break records that ...

The exhaust heat generated by a fusing plasma in a commercial-scale reactor may not be as damaging to the vessel's innards as once thought, according to new research about escaping plasma particles.

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, reflect or absorb light, yet is predicted to account for most of the universe's mass. As it cannot be detected and studied using ...

China's artificial sun breaks density limit that caused fusion experiments to fail, moving closer to clean energy.

How does a star affect the makeup of its planets? And what does this mean for the habitability of distant worlds? Carnegie's ...

A breakthrough experiment revealed how plasma turbulence spreads heat inside fusion reactors, solving a decades-old problem ...

By tracing solar flare gamma rays, scientists gain new insight into particle behavior that shapes space weather forecasts.
