China’s flagship fusion experiment has pushed plasma density beyond a limit that many physicists treated as a hard ceiling, jolting a field that has chased star power for decades. By holding an ...

R esearchers have been able to experimentally enter, for the first time, a new nuclear fusion regime, with plasma density beyond the conventional limit. While theories had suggested a strategy to ...

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 ...

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

Scientists at China’s EAST tokamak have achieved plasma densities beyond long-standing limits using plasma-wall self-organisation.
