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 ...

OpenStar Technologies' "Junior" prototype proves that levitated dipole reactors can stabilize superheated plasma.

At the same time, a current of cold electrons travels toward the heated plasma from the opposite direction. When the two meet, the plasma develops filament-shaped instabilities that SLAC’s facilities ...

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 ...

Helion becomes the first privately developed fusion energy machine to demonstrate measurable deuterium-tritium (D-T) fusion.

Being more efficient and more powerful than chemical rockets, plasma engines are seen as the future of human spaceflight. While NASA-backed plasma rocket projects aim for travel times to Mars be just ...

A research group has achieved a new plasma confinement regime using small 3D magnetic perturbations that simultaneously suppress edge instabilities and enhance core plasma confinement in the ...

The next version of KDE Plasma is expected on Feb. 17. There are improvements for displays, UI, security, and more. Some important apps are being swapped out. Speaking of new releases, version 6.6 of ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The smart animal club continues to add new members, and the newest ...

How does a cow scratch an itch on its back? An Austrian cow named Veronika has a solution that could change how we view livestock. For the past decade, Veronika has been observed by her owner ...

The percentage of teachers who are using artificial intelligence-driven tools in their classrooms nearly doubled between 2023 and 2025, according to data from the EdWeek Research Center. In 2023, a ...

Plasma cutters have become one of the most useful tools in garages and home workshops, especially for anyone who works on automotive projects, metal fabrication, or DIY repairs. Unlike traditional ...
