Inside the Tokamak: Scientists Crack the Code to Stable Fusion Energy
11th January 2025
At the heart of this effort is the tokamak reactor design, which uses magnetic fields to confine plasma and maintain the necessary conditions for fusion. A critical challenge has been managing the plasma edge instabilities, but recent breakthroughs in understanding how energetic particles interact with these instabilities suggest promising methods for improving reactor performance.
Yeah, well, call me when it starts pumping electricity into the grid.
Actually, don’t call me until I can put one in my back yard.
