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.
In large tokamaks with tungsten walls, the edge plasma must be cooled to low temperatures before it contacts the wall. This reduces sputtering of
A collaboration of researchers from MIT, University of California at San Diego, and General Atomics have performed the first set of realistic
