New simulations from Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory suggest that deliberately engineering plasma rotation inside tokamak fusion reactors could dramatically reduce the heat loads that destroy ...

OpenStar Technologies, a New Zealand-based fusion energy startup, has trapped plasma inside a levitated superconducting magnet, a feat that no company or laboratory had previously achieved with ...

Scientists have long seen a puzzling pattern in tokamaks, the doughnut-shaped machines that could one day reliably generate electricity from fusing atoms. When plasma particles escape the core of the ...

Chinese scientists break a historic barrier and achieve the highest plasma density in a nuclear fusion reactor.

Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory published a new paper last week, marking significant results from the lab’s artificial intelligence research. In the paper, published in Nature Communications, PPPL ...

Medical device manufacturers using plasma etchers and plasma surface-preparation systems in Asia should be aware of counterfeit machines being sold in the region. The machines bear the name Plasma ...

Industrial processes are becoming more and more accessible to hobbyists and engineering renegades, those unaffiliated with research institutions or patent-churning corporations. Case in point, as of ...

Speed, efficiency, and accuracy is what the Machine Shop’s new plasma cutter provides to the team who supports Yuma Test Center. The shop recently upgraded to a Plasma Cutting System (PCS) 5000EH. In ...

Plasma mirrors capable of withstanding the intensity of powerful lasers are being designed through an emerging machine learning framework. Researchers in Physics and Computer Science at the University ...

A new paper describes the application of machine learning to avoiding plasma disruptions, which will be crucial to ensuring the longevity of future large tokamaks, say researchers. Machine learning, ...
