A technique that suppresses damaging instabilities also improves the exhaust of helium ‘ash’ in the DIII-D tokamak, improving conditions for fusion.
Discovery could help control potentially damaging bursts during plasma disruptions, another step toward fusion power production.
New approach doubles the current driven by microwave heating at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility
Injecting pellets into fusion plasma helps repair tears in fusion reactors’ magnetic fields, improving prospects for fusion energy.
3D magnetic fields can help control the plasma edge to prevent damaging bursts of heat and particles from fusion plasma.
Forming a staircase in the edge of the plasmas can boost the performance of a fusion reactor
New high-resolution measurements of tokamaks’ tungsten walls may provide insight into how to better protect the armor material
Mirrored D shape demonstrates surprisingly high pressures in a tokamak, indicating a shape change may be in order for next-generation fusion reactors.
