The U.S. Department of Energy now has two major supercomputing systems aimed at accelerating fusion energy research through ...

On 1 August, the Korea Institute of Fusion Energy(KFE) announced that a new fusion simulation code was developed to project and analyze the Toroidal-Alfvén-Eigenmode (TAE). In TAE, instabilities occur ...

“A sun of our own and it’s made in Britain!” crowed the headline. The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) believed its 120-ton experimental reactor Zeta was almost certainly generating neutrons from ...

The winners of the 2024 Kaul Foundation Prize for Excellence in Plasma Physics Research and Technology Development: PPPL’s Seung-Hoe Ku, Choongseok (CS) Chang, and Robert Hager. Three scientists were ...

For as long as scientists have been trying to understand the behavior of the electrically charged fourth state of matter known as plasma, there have ...

Researchers have uncovered an obstacle to the cone-guided approach to fast-ignition fusion energy through computer simulations. Scientists found electric fields that build up on the cone's edge reduce ...
