Collaborate Disseminate
Seeking to improve the tokamak fusion reactor known as ITER, researchers have found a way to stop rogue tungsten atoms from shearing off the walls and messing with the plasma. The finding is another important milestone on fusion’s road to success.Conti… Continue reading A sprinkle of boron makes for a better fusion reactor recipe
When you think of a fusion reactor like a tokamak or stellarator, you are likely to think of expensive projects requiring expensive electromagnets made out of exotic alloys, whether superconducting …read more Continue reading The MUSE Permanent Magnet Stellarator: Fusion Reactor With Off-The-Shelf Parts
Scientists are pursuing the proposition of clean and inexhaustible power from nuclear fusion through a variety of experimental reactor designs, and one of the more interesting examples is a roughly circular device known as a stellarator. While these ha… Continue reading Straight coils for twisty reactors give new shape to nuclear fusion
