Munich-based Marvel Fusion, founded in 2019, has announced the extension of its Series B funding round by €50m ($54m), ...

As covered previously, plasma stability is a problem with the popular approach of tokamak-based magnetic confinement fusion (MCF). Although this core problem has now been largely addressed ...

Scientists use magnetic confinement devices to manipulate plasmas. The most common fusion reactors of that kind are tokamaks and stellarators. Currently, these are the most promising concepts for ...

For sustained energy generation, the plasma must retain as much energy as possible. This goal relies heavily on understanding ...

The success of such experiments depends on multiple key factors, including optimized magnetic fields that could display enhanced fusion plasma confinement. Introduced by researchers at Laboratorio ...

The ions must be held together in close proximity at high temperature with a confinement time long enough to avoid cooling. Nowadays, there are two main approaches for fusion energy research: Magnetic ...

In particular, he has focused on solving problems related to the physics of runaway electrons – a kind of energy leakage – and other energetic particles in magnetic confinement fusion devices.
