By imploding fuel of hydrogen isotopes, inertial confinement fusion (ICF) aims to create
conditions that mimic those in the Sun's core. This is fluid dynamics in an extreme regime …

In this review we focus on the fundamental theory of magnetohydrodynamic reconnection,
together with applications to understanding a wide range of dynamic processes in the solar …

The tokamak approach, utilizing a toroidal magnetic field configuration to confine a hot
plasma, is one of the most promising designs for develo** reactors that can exploit …

Nuclear fusion is one of the most attractive alternatives to carbon-dependent energy
sources. Harnessing energy from nuclear fusion in a large reactor scale, however, still …

Research on magnetic confinement of high-temperature plasmas has the ultimate goal of
harnessing nuclear fusion for the production of electricity. Although the tokamak is the …

Quasisymmetry is an unusual symmetry that can be present in toroidal magnetic fields,
enabling the confinement of charged particles and plasma. Here it is shown that both …

The Lawson criterion is a key concept in the pursuit of fusion energy, relating the fuel density
n, pulse duration τ or energy confinement time τ E, and fuel temperature T to the energy gain …

In a power plant scale fusion reactor, a huge amount of thermal power produced by the
fusion reaction and external heating must be exhausted through the narrow area of the …

In this paper, a review of cold plasma setups and the physical and chemical processes
leading to the generation of active species is presented. The emphasis is given to the …

In 2021 JET exploited its unique capabilities to operate with T and DT fuel with an ITER-like
Be/W wall (JET-ILW). This second major JET DT campaign (DTE2), after DTE1 in 1997 …
