The sun-mimicking technology known as nuclear fusion hopes to ... Now, another reactor in France is reporting a major ...

utilising a toroidal [doughnut-shaped] magnetic field configuration to confine a hot plasma, is one of the most promising designs for developing reactors that can exploit nuclear fusion to ...

with the resulting compression induces fusion. Creating this toroid is the feat that was recently demonstrated in the current Lawson Machine 26 (LM26) prototype reactor with its first plasma in ...

most fusion experiments today are tokamaks (a short form for a Russian expression that translates as ‘toroidal chamber with magnetic coils’). About 60 tokamaks and 10 stellarators are currently ...

“Unlike large pure fusion reactors, compact spherical tokamaks ... and this was the first time a spherical tokamak achieved this with the toroidal wave slowing down,” he said.
