This work enables fusion energy scientists to better control tokamak devices. The results of this study show a new path for handling this extreme heat, bringing researchers one step closer to a ...

Nuclear fusion reactors are nicknamed "artificial suns" because they generate energy in a similar way to the sun — by fusing two light atoms into a single heavy atom via heat and pressure.

For fusion to occur, hydrogen atoms are placed under high heat and pressure until they fuse together. Meanwhile, fission splits a heavy element (with a high atomic mass number) into fragments.

As energy needs expand and the quest for abundant, sustainable energy sources increasingly turns to fusion, the Small Aspect Ratio Tokamak (SMART) represents a significant step forward. The first ...

Besides offering high fusion performance, negative triangularity also features attractive power handling solutions, given that it covers a larger divertor area for distributing the heat exhaust.
