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 ...

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 ...

“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 ...

When the DOE’s pre-exascale supercomputers come online soon, all three will be running an optimized version of the XGC dynamic fusion code. Developed by a team at the DOE’s Princeton Plasma Physics ...

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 ...

A groundbreaking multidisciplinary team of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researchers is combining the power of exascale computing with AI, advanced workflows and GPU-acceleration with the ...

The EU Commission is providing 2.14 million euros in funding to take the GENE simulation code developed at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) to a new level. By using exascale ...

Scientists have long seen a puzzling pattern in tokamaks, the doughnut-shaped machines that could one day reliably generate electricity from fusing atoms. When plasma particles escape the core of the ...

New simulations from Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory suggest that deliberately engineering plasma rotation inside tokamak fusion reactors could dramatically reduce the heat loads that destroy ...
