ITER is set to become the largest experimental magnetic confinement fusion reactor ever built. The progress made on EAST provides crucial data for ITER and future Chinese reactors, such as the CFETR.

However, reproducing fusion on Earth is a major technological feat. The reactions require temperatures of several million degrees and effective plasma confinement. Two main approaches are being ...

There are two approaches to achieving fusion in the lab: inertial confinement fusion, which uses powerful lasers, and magnetic confinement fusion, which uses powerful magnets. While the “experiment of ...

The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), commonly known as China's "artificial sun," has achieved a remarkable scientific milestone by maintaining steady-state high-confinement ...

The technology could help produce more resistant materials and allow scientists more control over fusion reactions.

ITER, currently under construction in southern France, is set to become the world's largest magnetic confinement plasma physics experiment and the largest experimental tokamak nuclear fusion ...

Those eagerly awaiting the promise of nuclear fusion were dealt a bad hand in 2024 when the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), designed to be the world’s biggest and baddest ...
