A computer code used by physicists around the world to analyze and predict tokamak experiments can now approximate the behavior of highly energetic atomic nuclei, or ions, in fusion plasmas more ...
Recently, a team led by Professor LYU Bo and Dr. BAE Cheonho from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), Chinese Academy of Sciences, developed a new code that analyzed the multi-fluid plasma ...
The Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) is the largest and most advanced stellarator in the world, and on its tenth birthday, it’s clear the experiment has graduated from a bold engineering prototype to a running ...
Plasma stability is crucial for fusion. If plasma bounces around inside a stellarator, it can escape, cool, and tamp down the fusion reactions, in effect quenching the fusion fire. An earlier version ...
