Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) in Germany have reported a discovery that could lead to more compact fusion power plants. Within a fusion plant, a magnetic cage is used to keeps hot plasmas of more than 100m degree...

A Chinese tokamak device has set a new world record for a steady-state high-constraint mode plasma operation and German researchers have discovered a way to build smaller and cheaper fusion reactors. Meanwhile a US Government Accountability Office report on achieving commercial fusion cautions that several challenges must still be overcome.

Now researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) have found a way to significantly reduce this distance. This could make it possible to build smaller and cheaper fusion reactor ...
