The U.S. Department of Energy now has two major supercomputing systems aimed at accelerating fusion energy research through ...

On 1 August, the Korea Institute of Fusion Energy(KFE) announced that a new fusion simulation code was developed to project and analyze the Toroidal-Alfvén-Eigenmode (TAE). In TAE, instabilities occur ...

“A sun of our own and it’s made in Britain!” crowed the headline. The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) believed its 120-ton experimental reactor Zeta was almost certainly generating neutrons from ...

The winners of the 2024 Kaul Foundation Prize for Excellence in Plasma Physics Research and Technology Development: PPPL’s Seung-Hoe Ku, Choongseok (CS) Chang, and Robert Hager. Three scientists were ...

WASHINGTON, March 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The American government is beginning to focus on fusion in early 2022, recognizing the potential of this clean, extremely abundant energy source. With ...

Researchers have uncovered an obstacle to the cone-guided approach to fast-ignition fusion energy through computer simulations. Scientists found electric fields that build up on the cone's edge reduce ...

Physicists have simulated the spontaneous transition of turbulence at the edge of a fusion plasma to the high-confinement mode that sustains fusion reactions. The research was achieved with the ...

For as long as scientists have been trying to understand the behavior of the electrically charged fourth state of matter ...

In the beginning, there was the thermonuclear bomb - mankind had harnessed the energy of the Sun. Confident predictions abounded that fusion reactors would be providing power "too cheap to meter" ...

This project is part of the UKAEA/UoS Partnership Agreement established in 2023. The collaboration in thermal hydraulics is aimed at developing and exploiting a leading set of computational tools and ...
