Nuclear fusion is deemed the next big thing in the field of energy harvesting for humanity, but creating a reactor that can achieve continuous electricity generation has proved to be a massive ...

The HL-3 tokamak, a nuclear fusion research device located at the Southwestern Institute of Physics (SWIP) in Chengdu, China (Image credit: Atomic Energy 2.0) China’s Huanliu-3 (HL-3) tokamak in ...

In a groundbreaking study, scientists have successfully measured the temperature of quark-gluon plasma (QGP), a hot, dense substance believed to have existed just moments after the Big Bang. This ...

Heating a plasma for fusion research requires megawatts of power. One approach that research tokamaks use to achieve the necessary power input is neutral beam injection (NBI). With NBI, fast neutral ...

A Chinese team led by researchers from Kunming University of Science and Technology and Yunnan Yuntong Zinc Co. built a model to simulate electric heat processing of U-shaped silicon rods in a novel ...

"Uncontrolled plasma terminations, even during rampdown, can generate intense heat fluxes damaging the internal walls," Wang notes. "Quite often, especially with the high-performance plasmas, ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Scientists in the US have introduced a novel artificial intelligence (AI) approach that can protect fusion reactors from the ...

This work uses machine learning (ML) to complement HEAT (Heat flux Engineering Analysis Toolkit) by developing 3-D footprint surrogate models for fast and accurate heat load calculations in the ...

Abstract: Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) systems are widely employed in semiconductor manufacturing because they generate high-density plasmas. Various numerical simulation techniques are utilized ...

One of the key factors in the fusion reaction is temperature. Devices like ITER will need to heat the plasma up to 150 million °C –ten times hotter than the core of the Sun – and keep it burning. To ...
