Closer to the wall

An accidental discovery at the IPP tokamak ASDEX-Upgrade could point the way to more compact fusion power plants.

Power plasma with gigajoule energy turnover generated for eight minutes

European grant lets nuclear fusion simulations pioneer transition to exascale supercomputers

An unexpected plasma state discovered forty years ago opened the way to reaching fusion temperatures.

Current experiments and simulations show how to avoid destructive plasma instabilities in fusion reactors like ITER.

The W7-X stellarator has been significantly improved and will resume scientific experiments in autumn 2022.

In a complex conversion project, Garching fusion experiment is being equipped with divertor coils for the first time.

At the Simons Workshop, international theorists discussed designing even better stellerators.
