Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) measured a new record for a fusion device internally clad in tungsten, the element that could be the best fit for the commercial-scale machines required to make fusion a viable energy source for the world.

A tungsten-lined tokamak reactor operated by the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) has set a new fusion record by sustaining the plasma for six minutes and injecting 1.15 gigajoules of energy into it. The US-based Princeton ...

A new milestone in fusion has been achieved with a device internally clad in tungsten, researchers at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory say.

The WEST fusion reactor, located in the south of France, has just set a significant milestone in the quest for a sustainable and clean energy source by sustaining a plasma at 90 million degrees Fahrenheit (50 million degrees Celsius) for six continuous minutes.
