SMART (Small Aspect Ratio Tokamak), the world’s only fusion reactor with ‘negative triangularity’ constructed at the ...
The experimental advanced superconducting tokamak (EAST) fusion energy reactor set a new record at Hefei, capital of east ...
A nuclear fusion reactor in China, dubbed the "artificial sun," has broken its own record to bring humanity one step closer ...
Demonstrated at the ongoing CES 2025, the microscope uses cutting-edge laser technology to automatically identify atoms. It is able ... until it turns into plasma. Analyzing the optical emissions ...
Figure 1: Schematic diagram of the experimental setup ... of ion-electron coincidence measurements was performed on argon atoms ionized in the dual-elliptical polarization laser fields.
In a microplasma device, plasma is created by generating a strong electric field between a pair of electrodes—stripping electrons from the atoms and molecules in the space between them.
The mechanism involves plasma generation by multiphoton and cascade ionization, followed by shockwave releasing and propagation. The phenomena have been extensively investigated due to their wide ...
To make further advances, scientists are, however, focusing on another NIF milestone achieved in February of 2021 – burning plasma for the first time. In NIF’s approach to harnessing fusion ...
