The investors at SOSV are betting that plasma will become a nuanced implement capable of everything from enabling fusion ...

Combining ECCD and RMP provides greater flexibility and control over fusion plasma. The technique allows for precise adjustment of magnetic islands in the plasma, optimizing edge stability.

This marks the first time scientists have directly observed this type of heat blockage in what's called high-energy-density plasma, the kind of matter found inside stars and advanced fusion reactors.

The Burning Plasma Experiment Superconducting Tokamak, or BEST, is an intermediary reactor between China’s first-generation reactor and the Chinese Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR)—a ...
