For every fusion facility around the world, it is striving for steady state fusion reaction with operation period as long as possible. However, it is not easy. Many challenges stand in the way.

The Super X Divertor sounds like some fantasy invention from a 1950s Popular Mechanics. But it’s a real device that helps enable two eco-friendly processes: Generating zero carbon-footprint power, and ...

AUSTIN, TX and BELLEVUE, WA / ACCESSWIRE / February 21, 2024 / ExoFusion, a leader in the private fusion energy space, announces breakthroughs in confinement optimization using its Super-XT divertor™, ...

The Korean artificial sun, KSTAR, has completed divertor upgrades, allowing it to operate for extended periods sustaining high-temperature plasma over the 100 million degrees. The Korea Institute of ...

To harness the forces that power the Sun, researchers heat fuel to such a high temperature that atoms melt into electrons and nuclei to form a hot, gaseous soup called plasma. The plasma can rip ...

Temperatures of more than 10,000°C and a hail of charged particles from the fusion fuel (plasma): These are extreme conditions that the exhaust wall (divertor) of future fusion power plants will need ...

Enhancements will enable research into the physics of advanced fusion reactors and accelerate the drive to commercial fusion energy. The DIII-D National Fusion Facility has completed a series of ...

A contract has been awarded for the supply of a remote handling system for installing, maintaining and recovering components of the international Iter fusion project's Tokamak during its operational ...

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 ...

Scientists have succeeded in enhancing the high-performance of the cryogenic adsorption pump used for the evacuation of the Large Helical Device's (LHD) divertor). It became possible by the selection ...
