Chinese scientists have unveiled a superconducting linear plasma device designed to test materials for nuclear fusion reactors. The Superconducting Plasma Wall Interaction Linear Device (SWORD) boasts ...

Emerging research suggests it may be easier to use fusion as a power source if liquid lithium is applied to the internal walls of the device housing the plasma. Past experiments studied solid lithium ...

Researchers at the University of Missouri have devised a method of creating and launching rings of plasma through open air. Depending on your point of view, this could have significant repercussions ...

Researchers at the Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (INP) have developed a new portable plasma device called "MobiPlas" that will make the use of cold plasma in medicine even more ...

This view of the inside of LTX-β shows what the donut-shaped plasma containment device looks like after the lithium has been cleaned off the shell walls and several ports were opened. PPPL Staff ...
