The big bang should have yielded equal amounts of matter and antimatter, yet observations suggest that there is very little antimatter in the
Under helium plasma exposure in tokamak-relevant conditions, nanotendril “fuzz” will grow on tungsten plasma-facing components in a
Various optical elements are routinely used in modern synchrotron sources and X-ray free-electron lasers to confine the X-ray beam and focus it
The improvement in coil shapes was achieved by asking a somewhat different mathematical question compared to the question asked previously. In the
Tokamak disruptions are large magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities that can occur, for example, if there is a rare and unforeseen failure in the
New measurements and simulations of plasma rotation in DIII-D National Fusion Facility, a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science user facility
Controlled thermonuclear fusion is the process of fusing light elements into heavier elements to release energy for non-weapons applications.
A collaboration of researchers from MIT, University of California at San Diego, and General Atomics have performed the first set of realistic
In large tokamaks with tungsten walls, the edge plasma must be cooled to low temperatures before it contacts the wall. This reduces sputtering of
