Magnetic confinement plasma physics examines the use of strong magnetic fields to contain ionised gases at temperatures exceeding those in the core of the Sun. By shaping field lines into toroidal or ...

Although the idea of containing a plasma within a magnetic field seems straightforward at first, plasmas are highly dynamic systems that will happily escape magnetic confinement if given half a chance ...

Magnetic confinement exploits tailored magnetic fields to trap ionised gases at temperatures and densities required for applications ranging from fusion energy to specialised neutron sources. Systems ...

Physicists have been trying to design fusion reactors, technologies that can generate energy via nuclear fusion processes, for decades. The successful realization of fusion reactors relies on the ...
