Scientists have discovered a new way that resistivity can cause instabilities in the plasma edge

Alloys showing corrosion resistance up to 1173 K identified

One of the most important optimization goals underlying the Wendelstein 7-X fusion device has now been confirmed

ORNL researchers used natural tungsten (yellow) and enriched tungsten (orange) to trace the erosion, transport, and redeposition of tungsten

New insights into the dynamic edge of fusion plasmas could help capture the power that drives the sun and stars

Researchers are working on a portable diagnostic system that can be loaded in a cargo van and driven on a cross-country tour of experimental fusion reactor prototypes 

Record-setting efficiency for generation of neutrons

With three new detectors coming online in the next several years, scientists are confident they will collect enough geoneutrino data to measure Earth’s fuel level

The spherical design produces high-pressure plasmas—essential ingredients for fusion reactions—with relatively low and cost-effective magnetic fields
