China’s EAST fusion reactor surpasses density limits, paving the way for advancements in sustainable fusion energy production.

Researchers have identified a method to surpass the plasma density limit in experiments with the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), known as the "artificial sun," providing a ...

A nuclear fusion reaction has overcome two key barriers to operating in a “sweet spot” needed for optimal power production: boosting the plasma density and keeping that denser plasma contained. The ...

China’s latest advance with its so‑called artificial sun has pushed fusion plasma into a regime many physicists long treated as off limits, smashing through a density ceiling that had constrained ...
